Re: Part-time affordable non-coop? (Jan 2005)
I know of a pre-school in El Cerrito that would probably fit
your budget and schedule. Its in a great location: Montessori
Community School - 7002 Cutting Blvd, El Cerrito. The phone
number is: 510/ 234-1185, the owner is Anna and some of the
members of the staff are absolutely great. Of course its not
perfect - I dont think you can find that anywhere but your home,
being a parent of course! But you can give them a call and they
are pretty open about your touring the place on your own term,
etc. You probably dont even need an appointment unless you want
to be sure to do one on one time with a teacher for questions,
etc. Otherwise they are pretty open minded.

Re: Culturally Diverse Montessori School (Dec 2002)
Montessori Community School fits your criteria to a tee. It is
culturally diverse and affordable and located at a church on
Cutting just below the Arlington (I'm not sure if it's actually
in El Cerrito to Richmond). The director's name is Anna and she
is great.

Re: Culturally Diverse Montessori School (Dec 2002)
My 3-year-old daughter started attending Montessori Community
School (at the top of Cutting in El Cerrito) this fall and I've
been very pleased. She's African-American, as are many of the
children there. There are a few Asian children, some mixed race,
children who speak German, children who speak Spanish, children
who speak African languages or whose parents are African.
Children under 3 are in the toddler program, which is smaller than
the preschool/kindergarten program. There is another set of twins
(boy/girl) in the toddler program already, so your children would
have something in common.
I've been very pleased with both the social/emotional and academic
components of the program. My daughter has grown significantly in
both respects. The school's tuition also falls within your price
range.

Re: Culturally Diverse Montessori School (Dec 2002)
I highly recommend the Montessori Community School located at
7075 Cutting Blvd in El Cerrito near Arlington. The school is
culturally diverse. Our 22 month old twins have been enrolled
there since August 2002 and they have adjusted very well. The
school's number is (510) 234-1185 and the director's name is
Anna Hagman. If you would like more information I'd be glad to
provide it.

Has anyone heard of the Montessori Community School in Richmond
by Carlson? I'm thinking of sending my 1.5 year old there.
Thx - LS
My daughter has been attending Montessori Community School since
March, when she was 21 months old. We love it! The toddlers
spend lots of time playing outside, there is semi-structured
inside time, then circle time. The toddler class has been
small, with two teachers. She comes home with new songs and
phrases and is potty training. She wonders why she can't go to
school on weekends. Ask the director when you and your child
can sit in on the program. Email me if you have more specific
questions.

Re: Kindergarten Programs
My daughter is in the toddler class at Montessori Community
School on Carlson in Richmond Annex. It also has a kindergarten
program that we plan she will attended as we are so pleased
with the school's quality so far. Right now I think there
are only 5 kindergarten students.
