We have 5 schools in the San Francisco East Bay and provide an environment of discovery for children 18 months through 6th grade, depending on location.

Fountainhead Montessori is dedicated to the education of children in an environment designed to stimulate and develop the child’s love of learning. The Montessori philosophy leads to the development of a child’s strong sense of self esteem, dignity, independence, self direction, and awareness of the community. Social and emotional development is fostered in a nurturing atmosphere.

Fountainhead has been serving children since 1972 and offers flexible programs for children ages 18 months to 6 years depending on location. Nurturing the Skills that Power Sucessful Lives
