We are trying to decide on a preschool/montessori school in the Pinole/Hercules area for our 2.5 year old. Has anyone heard anything about schools in the area? Does anyone have information about La Casita Bilingue Montessori in Pinole? M

My daughter is 4 and she's in her 2nd year at La Casita. By far the best school - they're fabulous. I checked out 3 montessori schools and 3 non-montessori schools between richmond and vallejo. This is the best. Benefits: it's small and has a strong sense of family/community. It's also the only bilingual montessori program in this stretch of I-80. Feel free to email for more questions about it. Am preparing to send my 2nd daughter in the fall/winter. She's also 2 yrs. old. Debbie

I would like to recommend Rosa Jaramillo's bilingual (Spanish and English) childcare program ''La Casita'' for 1 to 5 year olds. Rosa has been providing this loving, nurturing and educational environment with the help of her sisters for 20 years out of her home. Her house offers stimulating play areas inside and a wonderful backyard with a large climbing structure and playhouse. The children go outside every day and Rosa provides a nutritional warm lunch and snacks. La Casita's hours are 8:00 am to 5:00 pm with a 20h/week minimum. In September some children are going on to Kindergarten and there will be some openings. My 3 years old daughter has been going there since April 2003 and loves everything about it!

Re: Bilingual (Spanish-English) preschool? (Oct 2001)
I know this is not in the Concord area, but maybe you come out this way for work... Our youngest daughter attends an absolutely wonderful bilingual Montessori preschool/kindergarten in Pinole. It is called La Casita Montessori, and is run by an extremely dedicated woman from Costa Rica, who not only places an emphasis on language, but also on many ecologic subjects. The Costa Rican rain forests are of particular interest to her, for obvious reasons. Being a Montessori school, there is some focus on academic subjects, but certainly plenty of typical preschool activities as well. The children clearly love being at school, and the staff is some of the best I've seen. The contact info is: 592 Tennent Ave Pinole, CA 94564 (510) 724-1724 Loraine
