We have just completed two sunny and fascinating weeks exploring the Desert Habitat! From gritty sand and warm pebbles to clever animal adaptations, our children across all age groups have been discovering how life thrives in hot, dry places through joyful, hands-on Montessori experiences. Whether they were sprinkling colored sand, building pebble collages, feeling dry vs. wet contrasts, or adding a new layer to their dioramas, every child experienced the desert in ways that matched their age and curiosity.

At Montessori School of Silicon Valley, we are honored to watch children grow within nurturing classroom communities where they are supported, encouraged, and cared for each day. This week, we are delighted to spotlight the Trinidad Family. Sofia is currently part of our Poppy Community at Peak Ave Montessori. Her Montessori journey began when she was just one year old in our Buttercup Community, where she was welcomed into a warm and caring environment designed to support her earliest stages of growth and independence. Since joining Peak Ave Montessori, Sofia’s family has

Behind every exceptional classroom is a team of educators who continue to learn, reflect, and grow together. This year’s MSOSV Staff Development Day brought our teaching community together for a meaningful day centered on professional development, collaboration, connection, and appreciation. As shared in our lead-up to Staff Development Day, the purpose of this annual gathering is to strengthen the work happening across our classrooms long before children walk through the door. It is an opportunity for our educators to deepen their understanding of child development, collaborate on curriculum, and reconnect with

We have just wrapped up two wonderful weeks exploring the Ocean Habitat! From gentle splashes to shiny shells and “swimming” goldfish, our children across all age groups have been fully immersed in the wonders of the sea through joyful, hands-on Montessori experiences. Whether they were washing shells, stamping with them, floating leaf boats, or building ocean layers in their keepsakes, every child experienced the ocean in ways that matched their age and curiosity. What Each Age Group Explored in the Ocean Nido (9 months – 2 years) Our youngest learners delighted in sensory-rich ocean experiences.

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.

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

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

Our kindergarteners set off for Happy Hollow Farm with big smiles and even bigger excitement, ready for a morning filled with fun, discovery, and a little bit of adventure to celebrate the close of their school year. From the moment they arrived, the energy was contagious. There was so much to see, explore, and experience. From wide open spaces to wander, animals to observe, and endless opportunities for curiosity to lead the way. It was one of those mornings where learning felt effortless, woven naturally into every moment of play and
