Petites Merveilles

Petites Merveilles is a nurturing Montessori-based preschool in Berkeley, CA, serving children aged 2 to 6. The program is specifically designed to support holistic child development through a focus on individualized education programs (IEPs), developmental support, and therapeutic-style learning. By maintaining a small enrollment of up to 12 children, the school ensures a low student-teacher ratio that allows for the personalized attention and meaningful interactions essential for children with diverse developmental needs.

The curriculum utilizes Dr. Maria Montessori's educational philosophy to foster practical life skills, early literacy, and pre-math development through hands-on, sensory-rich activities like gardening, singing, and dancing. The school also offers a unique French immersion approach, integrating language learning naturally through storytelling and song. This multi-sensory environment is ideal for supporting various learning styles and sensory processing needs.

The daily schedule is thoughtfully structured to promote both gross motor skills through outdoor play and social interaction in a safe, compassionate setting. With a strong emphasis on family partnerships and a commitment to providing specialized support, Petites Merveilles serves as a supportive community for families navigating early childhood development.
