Hayward Campus

Montessori Kindergarten for Ages 5 to 6 on Mission Blvd

Our Hayward campus is the Level Up Montessori location offering a full kindergarten year for children ages 5 to 6. Under director Ms. Sandhya, kindergartners build on the Montessori foundation from preschool with more advanced reading, writing, mathematics, cultural studies, and practical life work, while taking on the leadership role of the oldest children on campus.

Because Hayward is open Mon - Fri: 7:30am - 6:00pm, kindergarten families get a full academic day and extended care in one place, with no separate before- or after-school program to arrange. Spanish, music, yoga, and dance enrichment continue through the kindergarten year, the campus is nut- and peanut-free, and parents stay connected through the Brightwheel app.

What Kindergarten Looks Like at Our Hayward Campus

Kindergarten at Hayward is a more advanced stage of Montessori learning, not just a bigger preschool room. Here is what the year looks like for children on Mission Blvd.

Advanced Reading, Writing, and Math

Hayward kindergartners move from letter sounds to reading sentences and writing their own stories, and from bead materials to addition, subtraction, and place value. Work is individualized, so a child who is ahead keeps moving and a child who needs more time gets it.

Practical Life, Leadership, and Independence

As the oldest children at the Hayward campus, kindergartners take ownership of classroom jobs, help younger students, and present their work to the group. These habits build the responsibility and confidence first-grade teachers notice right away.

Cultural Studies and Second Language

Geography, science, and cultural studies broaden the kindergarten year, and Spanish enrichment continues from preschool. Music, yoga, and dance round out the week, with some enrichment offered at an additional cost.

Full-Day Schedule, One Drop-Off

The Hayward campus is open 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM, so kindergarten families do not need to coordinate a separate after-school program. Younger siblings in the infant, toddler, or preschool rooms are on the same campus, with one pick-up for everyone.
