Offering High Quality Childcare Based on Developing Self-Esteem, Dignity and Community Awareness through Independent and Self-Directed Learning
With campuses throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, including Livermore, Orinda, and Pleasant Hill, Fountainhead Montessori encourages a love of learning and sense of community among students. The Pleasant Hill school offers a diverse range of self-care, cultural, academic, and artistic activities. Fountainhead Montessori’s well-established mixed-age classes have been serving the local community since 1972.
Nearly all of the school’s head teachers have more than a decade of professional experience within the Montessori system. With three-quarters of teachers holding a Bachelor’s degree or higher, the school provides fully accredited training to teachers through a mixture of California State University courses and an in-house training program. The school takes particular pride in maintaining low turnover among its long-term employee base. Fountainhead Montessori offers care for children from the toddler through kindergarten age and also offers before- and after-school care for elementary school students. The school is closely affiliated with the American Montessori Society.
