Montecito Preschool is a private early childhood center located on a two-acre campus in Los Altos. The campus combines indoor classrooms and multiple outdoor play areas set among trees, gardens and small animals, and serves preschool-age children through Kindergarten while also providing care for elementary-age children during breaks and summer.
The program uses a mix of play-based, emergent and developmental learning with activities planned from observations of children’s interests. Classroom environments include a variety of learning centers and activities intended to support social, emotional, language, pre-math and motor skills, with nature and hands-on exploration integrated into daily learning.
Teaching staff are selected through interviews and reference checks, receive ongoing training and include personnel with required health and safety certifications. The center implements health and safety protocols and maintains routines intended to support children’s wellbeing; families receive weekly curriculum information and parent-teacher conferences are conducted twice yearly.
Year-round daily drop-in and back-up care is available to preschool and elementary children whether or not they are enrolled; the program uses prepaid hours and operates with the same staff structure as regular classes.
Part-time (morning or afternoon) and full-time preschool sessions are offered for preschool-age children, with a curriculum that blends play-based, emergent and skill-focused learning and arranges classrooms into multiple learning centers.
Age-appropriate day camps run during the summer and school breaks, offering weekday camp options and opportunities for full-time drop-in/back-up care during those periods.
