I take my child to Quail Run Montessori on San Rafael & Tramway. I would definitely visit the schools. They should let you visit with your child too. You'll get more of an idea of what is best for your family. I visited Academy & although I liked it, it seemed like too much of a business. I sat in an office for 45 minutes "learning" about the Montessori way (which I already know)before I even got a tour of the facility, but kids waved to the guy talking to me the entire time. It was obvious the kids liked him & enjoyed being there.
