What ages does the Milpitas pre-k serve?

The Milpitas pre-k program serves children in the year before kindergarten, typically ages 4 to 5. Call the campus at 408-263-8802 for the current age cutoff and openings, or schedule a tour.

Is this a full-day pre-k?

Yes. The Milpitas campus is open Monday through Friday from 8:15 AM to 6:00 PM, and the pre-k academic day and extended care are part of the same schedule, so no separate after-care is needed.

What will my child learn in pre-k at Milpitas?

Letter formation and phonics leading into early reading, writing their name and short sentences, number sense with early addition and subtraction, science and cultural studies, practical life skills, and continued Spanish, music, yoga, and dance enrichment.

How is pre-k different from preschool?

Pre-k at Milpitas is a dedicated kindergarten-readiness year. The work is more structured, writing and reading practice happen daily, children take on leadership roles as the oldest students on campus, and teachers focus on the routines and independence kindergarten expects.

Does my child need prior Montessori experience?

No. Many Milpitas pre-k students come up from our preschool, but children new to Level Up Montessori are welcome. Teachers assess where each child is and individualize their work from day one.

How will I know my child is ready for kindergarten?

Milpitas teachers share weekly classwork, Brightwheel updates, and parent conferences so you can see progress in writing, reading, math, and social skills across the year.

Do you accept subsidies for pre-k?

Yes. Level Up Montessori accepts subsidized families and offers a sibling discount. Learn more about financial assistance or contact the Milpitas campus for current pre-k tuition.

Can I enroll a younger sibling at the same time?

Yes. Milpitas offers infant care, toddler, and preschool programs on the same campus, and the sibling discount applies.

Milpitas Campus

Pre-K and Kindergarten Readiness on S Abbott Ave

The pre-k year at our Milpitas campus is where everything children have built in preschool comes together. Under director Ms. Sandhya, four- and five-year-olds at 301 S Abbott Ave move from letter sounds to writing words and short sentences, from counting to early addition, and from following routines to leading them. Our Milpitas campus is our South Bay school for the youngest learners, one of the few in the area where a baby can start in infant care and continue through pre-k, and kindergarten readiness is the goal every Milpitas family shares.

Because Milpitas is open Mon - Fri: 8:15am - 6:00pm, pre-k families get a full academic day and extended care in one place. Spanish, music, yoga, and dance enrichment continue through the pre-k year, the campus is nut- and peanut-free, and parents stay connected through the Brightwheel app and the classwork that comes home each week.

What Pre-K Looks Like at Our Milpitas Campus

Pre-k at Milpitas is a dedicated kindergarten-readiness year, not just the oldest preschool group. Here is what the year looks like for children on S Abbott Ave.

Early Writing, Phonics, and Reading

Milpitas pre-k students practice letter formation daily, blend sounds into words with Montessori movable alphabets, and begin reading simple books. Weekly worksheets and journals come home so parents can see progress, and work is individualized so each child keeps moving at their own pace.

Math, Science, and Cultural Studies

Bead materials and number rods build real number sense before symbols, leading into early addition and subtraction. Science experiments, geography, and cultural studies broaden the year, and Spanish enrichment continues from preschool.

Classroom Routines and Independence

As the oldest children at Milpitas, pre-k students take ownership of classroom jobs, present their work to the group, and learn to follow multi-step directions. These habits are what kindergarten teachers notice first.

Full-Day Schedule, One Drop-Off

The Milpitas campus is open 8:15 AM to 6:00 PM, so pre-k families do not need a separate after-care arrangement. Younger siblings in infant care, toddler, and preschool are on the same campus, with one pick-up for everyone.
