General Info

Brenda's Montessori preschool is a quality family owned and operated preschool located in our recently renovated University City home in San Diego. Brenda is a trained teacher from New Zealand who taught for several years in the traditional classroom before moving to San Diego. She then trained as a Montessori teacher and is certified with the International Association of Progressive Montessorians. Together with her husband Kevin, she has been teaching children from many diverse cultures for the past 20 years. We believe that a home environment is definitely,"the best of both worlds" for preschool aged children. They are able to develop their academic potential in a warm nurturing and safe home setting which is more relaxed and cozy rather than a bigger and less personal center. The Montessori area is a large prepared environment set up with all the necessary didactic materials that make the Montessori education so successful. We feel very passionate in our effort to promote each child's personal development and success. This is such a vital time for preschool age children to gain knowledge and experiences through hands on activities as these are the formative years when a child's brain develops 90%. Their potential to learn at this stage is crucial in order to lay the foundation on which their continued success and confidence will soar.
