Fountainhead Montessori School focuses on nurturing the skills that power successful lives, and by doing so, attracts parents who want their kids to be independent, and independent thinkers.

As a privately held nonprofit organization dedicated to the education of children, Fountainhead’s direct educational lineage to Dr. Maria Montessori ensures that the school provides an environment designed to stimulate and develop a child’s love of learning, for life. 

A member in good standing of the American Montessori Society, Fountainhead’s five campuses in the Bay Area (Dublin, Danville, Livermore, Pleasant Hill, and Orinda) allow parents to choose from a wide variety of programs encompassing the needs of children 18-months to 12 years. In addition, Fountainhead provides a level of convenience for parents almost unheard of among private schools -- including full transparency of costs (i.e., no hidden costs) and customization of fees and scheduling to fit a family’s needs.

Besides Toddler, Preschool, Primary, Kindergarten and Elementary programs, academic offerings also include Spanish/Mandarin Immersion and other enrichment programs, as well as Summer Camps and Discovery Camps, and artistic, cultural, and self-exploratory activities tailored to the individual needs of students, as well as before- and after-school care. In these programs, a child can make guided, but self-oriented, choices that: 1) develop the whole person, as well as intellectual and academic aptitude, 2) safeguard their ability to be independent and think independently, and 3) ensure that their schooling also prepares them for life.

To strengthen this supportive environment, each campus is a dedicated facility set up to promote a child’s well-being and enhance the Montessori methodology. Also, 90% of head teachers -- educators qualified to know the potential and needs of the age groups with whom they work -- have 10+ years of Montessori classroom experience. And, 75% have a bachelor's degree or higher.
