Rising Sun Montessori School is a caring and nurturing preschool located in Albany, with two classrooms designed to meet the needs of children from ages 2 to 5. The school offers a warm, home-like environment for the younger children in the Cub House (Ositos) and a structured, Montessori-based learning setting for older preschoolers in the Learning Center. The staff, including long-tenured teachers, are known for their caring attitude and dedication to each child's development. Many parents appreciate the gentle yet firm guidance provided by the teachers, who focus on helping children feel safe, loved, and confident. A notable aspect of Rising Sun is its emphasis on language learning, with Spanish introduced daily through simple conversation and songs, which has helped children develop language skills and cultural awareness. The school’s educators are attentive to individual needs, fostering a sense of community among students and parents alike. This approach has resulted in children becoming more advanced, independent, and socially connected, often forming lasting friendships with other families. Parents also commend the school's focus on childhood development and the teachers’ ability to support children through transitions, especially during challenging times like the pandemic. The school’s nurturing environment, experienced staff, and strong community make Rising Sun Montessori School a highly recommended choice for families seeking quality early education with a personal touch.
