School Overview
Overview
The Montessori School of Sonoma is a private nonprofit organization established in August 1972.
The school is based on Maria Montessori's methods and theories of child development and early learning.
There are four individual programs: Infant, Toddler, Preschool and Childcare.
The school is open to any child 1 to 10 years old.
Crescent Montessori School celebrates its 19th anniversary this year. Formerly Vintage Country Day School founded by a group of parents in 1983, the school changed hands in the Fall 1994 when Karin Niehoff, Head Teacher, became owner and director.
The school continues the tradition of offering a quality Montessori program for children ages 2 through 5 in the Primary class and ages 6-12 in the Elementary class.
Our connection to the community is lasting and strong thanks to the many families with children who have shared their school years in our lovely classrooms in the Sonoma Community Center.
Our staff is dedicated to providing the best possible environment for each child to flourish and grow during the important formative years and continuing with us through Elementary and beyond with our new Middle School class beginning September 2013.
