We are a group of motivated local parents who are seeking an alternative to traditional public schools in Hayward. Our group is ethnically diverse, with children who have very different talents, learning styles, and needs, but we have seen them all thrive in Montessori preschool and kindergarten. Our kids are advancing academically and are excited to attend school. We want to see this love of learning continue throughout their education.
We also recognize a need within the Hayward Unified School District for a curriculum to address poor attendance, testing challenges, and the large number of English-learning students. We believe Montessori's child-centered philosophy is a great match for Hayward's ethnic, socioeconomic, cultural, and academic diversity; in fact, the more diverse the students, the richer the Montessori classroom experience. In January 2008, a group of twenty educators and parents formed a Steering Committee to establish a Montessori charter elementary school to expand the public school options in the area and give back to the wonderfully diverse community of Hayward.
