Welcome to My Own Montessori (M.O.M.)
Established in 1986 by Gena K. Lawrence and Jan Ghirardelli
At Home At School
M.O.M. is more than just a small preschool. It’s a place where children equate learning with pleasure; where independence is fostered in a loving environment; where friends learn respect and kindness; and where every child is allowed to feel safe, cared for, and recognized for who they are.
We are a Montessori preschool located in the Rockridge district of Oakland, California, serving children ages 2 years, 3 months through Kindergarten. We are one block from Rockridge BART. Our school hosts families from both our neighborhood and the outlying areas. M.O.M. is situated in the lower half of a large craftsman house. The interior rooms are open and receive an abundance of natural light. Our spacious outside yard has a garden area, a beautiful play structure, and a detached garage that has been turned into an outdoor classroom.
We believe that the quality of the learning environment is critical to the development of young children. We provide a creative and stimulating environment and our staff are committed to the Montessori philosophy. Our students’ innate curiosity is nurtured and encouraged, to cultivate the understanding and development of new skills, to truly feel, “At home at school.”
