A Montessori education in a home environment for children ages 3-5 years old. We are AMS Montessori certified teachers with a combined experience over 30 years. Our low teacher to student ratio allows our teachers and children to develop a strong and close relationship.
At KSS Spanish Immersion Preschools in Berkeley, children learn through play, exploration, and connection. Our warm, caring maestras create a nurturing environment where children build confidence, develop strong social emotional skills, and engage with a new language naturally throughout their day. Families choose KSS because it feels like home, a place where every child is seen, celebrated, and encouraged to discover what they can do.
Shu Ren International School believes that every day of learning is vitally important to the development of each of our students. It is not enough that our students are learning, or that they are having fun, but rather we must provide them an opportunity for a truly outstanding education. We want to make sure that most days our children come home and say "Mommy, Daddy guess what I did today?" Learning is exciting and rigorous when we make it relevant, fun, hands on, and based on intrinsic motivation from within the student. True authentic rigor in education takes place when the students' burning desire to learn is triggered through inspiring student-centered classrooms. This is inquiry learning, and we do it in Mandarin Chinese and English creating a bilingual immersion-based environment for our students to learn. By combining inquiry learning with dual immersion instruction in Mandarin Chinese and English we believe that the students at Shu Ren will be prepared for the 21st Century.
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.
