WHERE YOUNG MINDS BLOSSOM
About Us
Beresford Montessori has been a cornerstone of early childhood education in our community since 1992. Founded in San Mateo, our school was established with a vision to provide children with a nurturing environment rooted in the Montessori philosophy, fostering independence, curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning. As our community grew, so did our commitment to serving more families, leading to the expansion of our second campus in Redwood City in 2003 and later our third campus on Claremont Street in San Mateo in 2021. This growth has allowed us to extend our reach while maintaining the close-knit, personalized atmosphere that defines our approach. As we continue to evolve, our mission remains steadfast: to provide an enriching Montessori education that lays the foundation for a lifetime of learning and success.
