At Berkeley International Montessori, it is our goal to create a nurturing, intimate learning environment that feels like an extension of the child's home and family. It is our intention as Montessorians to instill in children a respect for themselves, others, and a life-long love of learning and the natural world. We believe in the strong partnership between parents and educators to help children reach their highest potential. Our goal is to encourage children to follow their natural curiosities, and also develop the confidence to expand their comfort zone. By maintaining a small class size, our highly experienced educators have the opportunity to provide richer, more individualized attention to your child and family. Our Japanese-English bilingual program is tailored to each family's goals for fluency and cultural understanding, and our approach will enable students to comprehend, speak, read, and write in both English and Japanese.

At Orkidz Preschool, we’ve created a warm, welcoming space where children feel safe, supported, and excited to learn. Serving families in Albany, CA, our program is designed for children ages 3 months to 5 years and focuses on play-based, hands-on learning that encourages curiosity and independence. Our classrooms are intentionally designed to inspire creativity through activities like art, music, gardening, yoga, and science exploration. With low teacher-to-student ratios, our educators can build strong, meaningful connections with each child and support their individual development. We make life easier for families by providing healthy meals and snacks daily, maintaining open communication, and creating a strong sense of community. At Orkidz Preschool, children don’t just learn, they grow with confidence, joy, and a love for discovery.
