West Marin Montessori

Nestled in the idyllic hills of the San Geronimo Valley, West Marin Montessori has been inspiring young minds for over 40 years. Founded in 1976, our Montessori preschool offers a nurturing and stimulating environment for children ages 2.5 to 6 years old.

A Thoughtful Approach to Education

Guided by the renowned Montessori philosophy, we nurture each child's natural curiosity and foster a love for learning. Our experienced and certified teachers carefully facilitate a hands-on, inquiry-based curriculum that promotes self-discovery and social-emotional development.

A Rich and Inspiring Environment

Our classroom is a vibrant and welcoming space with designated areas for exploration, collaboration, and quiet reflection. Surrounded by lush greenery and peaceful hills, our outdoor environment fosters a sense of wonder and awe in young minds.

Experience and Expertise

Our dedicated team of teachers has over 12 years of collective experience in Montessori education. Led by Alyssa Gleason and Lhasa Yudice, both founders have deep connections to the local community and share a passion for nurturing young learners.

A Seamless Transition to Elementary School

Located on the grounds of the Lagunitas School District, we are fortunate to be in close proximity to our local elementary school. This seamless transition prepares your child for the next stage of their educational journey.

Join Our Community

We believe in fostering a close-knit community where children can learn and grow alongside their peers. Parents are actively involved in their children's learning through regular communication, volunteering opportunities, and special events.
