Hayward Campus

Montessori-Inspired Preschool on Mission Blvd in Hayward

Preschool is the heart of our Hayward campus. As the original Level Up Montessori location, Hayward has the most established preschool classrooms in our network, led by director Ms. Sandhya and a team of teachers parents consistently describe as caring, attentive, and engaging. Children 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 Hayward preschool day runs Mon - Fri: 7:30am - 6:00pm, 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 Hayward Campus

Hayward 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 Mission 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. Creative Curriculum lessons tie it together, so Hayward preschoolers build genuine reading and math readiness while staying active.

Enrichment Built Into the Week

Spanish, music, yoga, and dance are part of the Hayward 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, Hayward 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 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM, the Hayward 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.
