Little Wonders Montessori
1663 32nd Ave, San Francisco 94122
We are delighted to provide loving care and educational guidance for your child during his or her preschool years. Working with you, we can make your child's preschool experience everything you wish it to be - a time of personal growth, academic discovery and positive social interaction. Little Wonders Montessori Preschool is set up in a two-part structure composed of two separate schools, one dedicated to early preschool curriculum and basic progressive Montessori activities (18 months through 3 years), the other focusing on a kindergarten prep curriculum and more advanced Montessori activities (3 to 6 years). We offer rolling admission and accept students at any age between 18 months and 5 years.

What this means
Montessori mixes children by age and uses hands-on, self-correcting materials so kids learn at their own pace with lots of independence. An academic (or structured) program has more teacher-led lessons and routines to prepare children for the structure of kindergarten.
This school teaches primarily in English.
