When searching for toddler care, Bay Area parents often compare home-based family childcare against commercial daycare centers. At Kubo Montessori, we are proud to offer Peninsula parents the best of both worlds across our two dedicated campus environments.
The Power of Home-Based Casa dei Bambini (San Mateo)
For toddlers aged 20 months to 3 years, transitioning from parent care to a large commercial center can feel overwhelming. Our San Mateo campus features two licensed home-based facilities on Flores St.
Operating at a low 12:2 ratio with daily hot organic lunches cooked on-site, children experience a warm, secure domestic setting while working with authentic AMI/AMS Montessori materials.
Nature-Rich Center Environment (Redwood City)
For families seeking a larger campus setting with nature grounds, multilingual enrichment (Spanish, Japanese, Mandarin), and Transitional Kindergarten (TK), our Roots N' Wings campus in Redwood City delivers center-based Montessori excellence at a low 6:1 ratio.
