Re: Preschools and coops in Hercules, Pinole, San Pablo? (Jan 2005)
Hi, I didn't see the original post, but I can highly recommend Montessori Children's House of Pinole. The director, Kathy Maloney, has run the school for 23 or so years (out of her home), and her co-teacher has been with her for 12 years. I have spent many hours in their classroom, and they function wonderfully as a team--the way they work with 10-12 kids (including some high-energy boys) is just masterful! They have all the great Montessori materials and use Montessori methods, and yet the classroom is not overly structured or too ''quiet.'' They take kids from 2.5 to 6 years, and it is a richly diverse bunch of kids and parents. Go for a visit and see! Cheri

Re: New to Pinole - which preschool? (Jan 2002)
Kathy Maloney runs the Montessori Children's House on Johanna Ct. My sister used to work for her and has nothing but highly positive things to say both about Kathy and the program. I heard another Montessori teacher refer to it as the "only truly Montessori" program in the area. Good Luck! Jody
