With over 40 years of progressive early childhood education, The Child Unique Montessori School is a leader in innovative preschool and kindergarten experiences. Our Montessori philosophy is enriched by a strong cultural curriculum and a commitment to creating children who will be leaders of a peaceful, better world.
We want children to do more than just learn. We want them to think. We want them to reflect on their thoughts, grow from that understanding, and use it to change the world. We believe this transformative journey begins here—at The Child Unique Montessori School in Alameda, where preschool lays the foundation for a brighter future.
A Welcoming and Inclusive Montessori Community
At The Child Unique Montessori School/Montessori Elementary Intermediate School of Alameda (TCU/MEISA), we embrace diversity in all forms—race, religion, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, ability, and socio-economic status. Our community includes teachers, parents, students, and family members who share a commitment to inclusion, respect, and social justice.
We actively support bias-awareness and anti-bullying initiatives throughout our campuses. As part of our social justice mandate, we participate in the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) Foundation’s Welcoming Schools program, implementing policies and practices that reflect our commitment to LGBTQ inclusiveness, including:
-
Inclusive language reflecting diverse family structures
-
Non-discrimination employment policies
-
Anti-harassment policies
-
In-service training
-
LGBTQ-inclusive curriculum
Cultural Inclusivity
Our commitment to inclusivity extends beyond gender and sexual orientation. We strive to be a welcoming, safe space for families of diverse religious beliefs, socio-economic backgrounds, family compositions, and ethnicities. At TCU/MEISA, honoring diversity is fundamental to our way of life and influences our teaching, policies, and daily interactions.
Families who appreciate and embrace these values will find a nurturing community here.
