At Meadow View Montessori (formerly Rocklin Montessori), we celebrate each child’s unique potential by nurturing curiosity, creativity, and a strong sense of self. Rooted in Montessori philosophy, we believe early childhood education should be a joyful and enriching journey—one that empowers children to grow with confidence, resilience, and a lifelong love of learning, supported by a caring school community.

Our classrooms are nestled in a cozy, converted home, offering a warm and welcoming space where children feel safe, calm, and at home. It’s a place where small hands are free to explore, create, and discover the world around them.

A Beautiful Place to Learn

Every corner of our school is designed to inspire wonder. Indoors, children move freely through peaceful, light-filled rooms filled with carefully chosen Montessori materials and opportunities for creative exploration.

Outside, they run, dig, garden, and imagine in our open meadow and nature-inspired play spaces. Whether watching butterflies in our native garden, watering plants in the garden beds, or enjoying time in the mud kitchen, outdoor play is a treasured part of every day.
