Re-Enrollment Details for the Upcoming School Year
Re-enrollment plays an important role in preparing for the upcoming school year at Montessori School of Silicon Valley. Beginning February 2, 2026, our families will have a one-week re-enrollment window to confirm their child’s placement. This process supports intentional classroom preparation and allows our teaching teams to plan learning environments with care. Re-enrollment is the simplest way to lock in your child’s spot for next school year and keep their school experience steady with familiar relationships, consistent routines, and continued learning. Completing it during the designated window helps you stay on track

Kindergarteners Discover Wonders Underground at Inner Space Cavern
Our Kindergarten class at the Cantera Campus had a day of exploration and discovery on January 15th. The children visited the Inner Space Cavern in Georgetown, one of Texas’ most fascinating underground treasures. Led by guides and supported by our teachers, the children walked through winding pathways and saw incredible cave formations that have been hidden underground for thousands of years. They listened closely as they learned about stalactites, stalagmites, and observed fossils and corals that are nearly a million years old! This adventure sparked curiosity and gave our Kindergarteners the chance

Spreading Joy: Peak Ave Montessori’s First Holiday Toy Drive

From December 1st–19th, families donated brand new, unwrapped toys for children aged 5–13, filling our school with the spirit of giving. It was a heartwarming display of generosity and compassion, and we couldn’t be more grateful to our Sunflower Families for their enthusiastic support.

Supporting Your Child’s Routine During the Holidays
Happy holidays! As we head into this joyful (and sometimes very exciting!) break, we wanted to share a few simple ideas that make an enormous difference in helping our young children feel calm, regulated, and ready to learn when we all come back together in January. The holiday season often means later bedtimes, more screens, visitors, and changes in routine; all of which are fun but can make little bodies and brains feel a bit “wobbly” when school starts again. Even small steps toward these habits over the next few weeks help
