About
Piedmont Hills Montessori Academy
Established in 1984, Piedmont Hills Montessori Academy (PHMA) has been serving the families of San Jose and surrounding communities for over 40 years. Our Montessori-based childcare services for toddlers, preschoolers, and kindergarteners foster your child’s emotional, social, physical, and academic development. Our curriculum is structured enough to encourage ongoing education and flexible enough to give children room to explore what interests them.
Montessori preschools and childcare services give children the room and freedom to learn and discover new things at their own pace. We integrate hands-on activities to keep your child engaged and make learning fun, all while ensuring that every child is learning age-appropriate skills and growing developmentally.
To provide a positive and inclusive environment that supports the emotional, social, physical, and academic development of young children.
Self-Directed Learning
In the right environment, children of all ages can love learning when they are given the freedom to pursue what interests them. We provide your child with a rich and safe environment where they can learn independently.
Guided Exploration
Children are naturally curious, and they need the opportunity to explore the world around them. We utilize guided exploration sessions to introduce your child to new objects, ideas, and activities in a controlled, supervised environment.
Free Play
Imaginations are meant to run wild, and that’s exactly what happens during free play at PHMA. Your child can play independently or together during this time with whatever captures their interest on a given day.
Nurturing Environment
We are a preschool inspired by Montessori theory that balances independent discovery with child-centered academic learning. We nurture children’s imaginations and ignite their curious minds to discover and explore the world using their five senses and a variety of activities and curricula.
