Rockridge Montessori School is a family-owned preschool established in 1986 in the Rockridge District of North Oakland. We offer Montessori-based educational programs for children from age one through the start of kindergarten, with four separate classrooms, fenced outdoor play areas, and an experienced faculty of teachers and administrators trained in the Montessori method.
Our goal is to provide the highest quality care for each child at the school, so that each child can grow with love and nurturing in a stimulating environment. Flexible full- and part-time options available, along with a range of optional extracurricular enrichment activities on-site.
Rockridge Montessori School opened its doors to young children in 1986. The intent was and still is to provide quality education to children within the context of mutual respect, nurturing and joy of learning. Our program encourages independence, cooperation, empathy, and social responsibility.
We believe that a child develops best when he or she is offered a wide variety of opportunities to experience the world. Our program encompasses Montessori materials and developmentally appropriate activities.
RMS expanded its program in September 2004, to include a place for Infant/Toddler Children. This drive to open an Infant/Toddler Program came as an answer to many inquiries of families trying to find quality care for such a young age.
