Rising Star Montessori School is a private preschool school located in Alameda, California. For over 35 years we have provided a high-quality educational program for children based on the philosophy and methods developed by Maria Montessori. In addition to our concern for the health and safety of the children, we emphasize a total education program. This program includes thorough preparation in the basic academic skills, physical abilities, and extensive curriculum in the cultural subjects.Our academic excellence thrives in a warm, nurturing environment that promotes the self-esteem of each individual child. We advocate global diversity by studying many cultures, embracing and respecting the people in our modern world. We practice this philosophy of "Education of Peace" in our professional and respectful manner with children, parents, and fellow staff.
