Calaveras Montessori School caters to a unique mix of infants, toddlers, preschoolers and kindergarteners--based on its location at the school district and Calaveras Hills Alternative High School. The little ones at this Montessori come from the general public, employees of the Milpitas Unified School District and young parents completing their high school education at Cal Hills.
Parents can rest assured that their children are being nurtured and challenged by Montessori-certified teachers. To prove it, there are even "kiddy cams" available on-line for parents to sneak-a-peek on a password protected area of their website. Parents will also find it a delight to watch their little ones march in the Halloween parade, frolic in the Easter egg hunt and hula in the summertime luau.
