Saratoga Campus
Montessori-Inspired Preschool on Saratoga Ave in Saratoga
Preschool is the heart of our Saratoga campus. Our Saratoga campus is our West Valley school, a smaller campus where teachers know every child and family by name, and its preschool classrooms are led by director Ms. Anu Agarwal with a team of teachers parents describe as caring, attentive, and engaging. Children at 12770 Saratoga Ave 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 Saratoga preschool day runs Mon - Fri: 8:15am - 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 Saratoga Campus
Saratoga 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 Saratoga Ave.
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 Saratoga preschoolers build genuine reading and math readiness while staying active.
Enrichment Built Into the Week
Spanish, music, yoga, and dance are part of the Saratoga 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, Saratoga 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 8:15 AM to 5:30 PM, the Saratoga 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.
