What does a fully implemented Montessori education look like in practice? It starts long before your child walks through the classroom door. At Montessori School of Silicon Valley (MSOSV), our commitment to excellence is built and renewed every year through intentional professional development. On July 1st, our entire teaching community comes together for a full day dedicated to growth, learning, and celebrating the people who make our school community thrive. Expert Perspectives on Child Development This year, we are bringing in two guest speakers to lead targeted professional development workshops for our

At Montessori School of Silicon Valley, we are always grateful for the opportunity to watch children grow into confident, capable, and caring members of their classroom communities. This month, we are delighted to spotlight The Mills Family. Audrey joined our Crescent Montessori campus in July 2024 when she was three and a half years old. Since then, she has become a joyful part of her classroom community, building confidence, independence, and meaningful relationships along the way. Her family shared: “Crescent Montessori has been such a wonderful community for our family! Its teachers and

We are thrilled to kick off our Summer Habitats Curriculum with the magical world of the Forest! Over the past two weeks, our children across all age groups have been immersed in the sights, sounds, textures, and wonders of the forest through joyful, hands-on Montessori experiences. From the youngest infants in Nido to our confident Kindergarten students, every child has explored the forest in ways that match their developmental stage; touching soft moss, listening to animal sounds, creating nature art, and building their very own keepsake projects. What Each Age Group Explored

At Montessori School of Silicon Valley, every child’s journey is unique, and we are honored to be part of each family’s story. This month, we are delighted to spotlight Hunter and her family, whose MSOSV journey began when Hunter was just three months old. Hunter started at our Calaveras Montessori location in June 2024 as an infant. From her earliest months, she was welcomed into a warm, nurturing environment where she was cared for, encouraged, and supported each day. When our Calaveras location closed in June 2025, Hunter’s family remained connected

As the school year comes to a close, our Kindergarten students at Cantera Montessori had the opportunity to celebrate their accomplishments with a special final field trip to the Creative Playscape playground in Georgetown, Texas. This beloved community playground provided the perfect setting for a day of exploration, imagination, and fun. Throughout the morning, the children climbed, ran, explored, and engaged in creative play while enjoying time together outside the classroom. Field trips offer more than just an opportunity for fun. They allow children to build confidence, strengthen friendships, practice independence, and

As the school year draws to a close, our Kindergarten students from Cabrillo Montessori, Crescent Montessori, and Peak Ave Montessori came together for a special tradition: their final field trip of the year. This year's destination was Creighton Park in Milpitas, one of the city's newer community parks and the perfect setting for a day of exploration, friendship, and celebration. For many of the children, this field trip was an opportunity to connect with fellow Kindergarteners from across our California campuses. Throughout the day, they enjoyed time on the playground, explored the

A lot of things change in the summer. School schedules shift, routines get rearranged, and families spend a lot of time figuring out what the next few months are going to look like. At MSOSV, we take a different approach. For our children, summer is a continuation of learning in a whole new direction. The same teachers, the same classrooms, and the same Montessori structure that your child has thrived in all year carry right through to June, July, and August. What changes is the curriculum, and this summer, it is

On Saturday, May 30th, our Cabrillo campus in Santa Clara became exactly what it is always meant to be: a gathering place for the community. Families from across the neighborhood came through the gates of 2495 Cabrillo Ave. from 10 AM to 12 PM for our Community Summer Fair, and what unfolded was a morning full of connection, curiosity, and joy. What Our Children Experienced From the moment the gates opened, children were drawn to the farm animals, touching soft fur and learning through the kind of direct, hands-on experience that sits at

The MSOSV Moving Up Ceremony is a milestone marker for our kindergarteners, a moment when the whole school community pauses to recognize how far these children have come. And the journey has been remarkable. Montessori Kindergarten is the final year in a three-year journey through primary. By the time a child reaches their kindergarten year, they have accumulated skills, habits, and a depth of understanding that most people outside the Montessori world find surprising. The Moving Up Ceremony is a chance to show that work and reflect on each child's growth. Each
