At Cantera Montessori School of Silicon Valley, we are proud to support our youngest learners and the families who trust us with their care. This week, we’re delighted to spotlight the August Family, who are experiencing the joys of the infant program with their one-year-old daughter, Ava.
“We’ve had a wonderful experience so far with our one-year-old Ava!”
From the very beginning, the August Family has felt warmly welcomed into the Cantera community. They describe the infant teachers as attentive, compassionate, and genuinely invested in every child’s growth:
“The teachers have been warm, attentive, and genuinely caring—not just toward our child, but toward all the little ones in the classroom.”
What stands out most is the individualized attention given to each child’s developmental journey. The teaching team observes and supports every milestone with thoughtfulness, always keeping families informed:
“They take the time to understand each baby’s individual needs and developmental pace, always bringing any observations or concerns to our attention in a thoughtful and proactive way.”
One of the August Family’s favorite aspects of their experience is the consistent, detailed communication. Daily updates offer reassurance and insight into Ava’s day—from meals and naps to moments of joy and discovery.
“It brings a lot of peace of mind knowing what their day looks like.”
Like many families, their transition into care came with a few big feelings—but Ava’s parents found comfort in the calm, steady presence of the staff:
“Their calm, steady presence has helped our child settle in more smoothly than we expected.”
We’re honored to walk alongside the August Family during these important early years and so grateful for their trust, partnership, and warmth.
