Both, by design. Children work with Montessori materials for reading, math, science, and practical life, and the day also includes free play, outdoor time, art, and music. Creative Curriculum and our Kindness Curriculum round out the program.

Peralta Campus

Montessori-Inspired Preschool on Peralta Blvd in Centerville, Fremont

Preschool is the heart of our Peralta campus. Long known to local families as Happy Bear Learning, our Peralta campus is our central Fremont school, and its preschool classrooms are led by director Ms. Arpita Patel with a team of teachers parents describe as caring, attentive, and engaging. Children at 3620 Peralta Blvd work with Montessori materials for early reading, math, science, and social studies, then bring those skills into projects, creative writing, arts and crafts, and daily outdoor play.

The Peralta preschool day runs Mon - Fri: 8:30am - 5:30pm, long enough for working families to skip separate before- and after-care. Enrichment in Spanish, music, yoga, and dance is woven into the week, our Kindness Curriculum supports social-emotional growth, and healthy snacks are served on a nut- and peanut-free campus. Parents follow the day through the Brightwheel app.

What Preschool Looks Like at Our Peralta Campus

Peralta preschoolers get a balance that is hard to find: real early academics through Montessori materials, plenty of movement and creative play, and a full day of care. Here is how that comes together on Peralta Blvd.

Early Academics, the Montessori Way

Children learn letter sounds with sandpaper letters, build numbers with bead materials, and explore science and social studies through hands-on work rather than worksheets alone. Creative Curriculum lessons tie it together, so Peralta preschoolers build genuine reading and math readiness while staying active.

Enrichment Built Into the Week

Spanish, music, yoga, and dance are part of the Peralta preschool week, giving children a second language, rhythm, movement, and confidence performing in front of others. Some enrichment classes are offered at an additional cost; ask for the current schedule when you tour.

Kindness Curriculum

Alongside academics, Peralta teachers use our Kindness Curriculum to help preschoolers name feelings, resolve conflicts with words, and look out for classmates. Parents often tell us these are the habits they notice first at home.

A Full Day for Working Parents

From 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM, the Peralta preschool day moves through circle time, weather and calendar, project work, free play, reading, creative writing, arts and crafts, outdoor play, lunch, and rest. One drop-off covers the whole day, with Brightwheel updates in between.
