At Red Barn Montessori we foster the love of learning in children by creating a safe environment of mutual respect and dignity.
Red Barn Montessori resides on the 150 year old Praetzel family farm in the outskirts of Petaluma. The school's founding families had a vision of creating a supportive community of learners for students and parents alike. Building upon that vision and a foundation based on the philosophy of Dr. Maria Montessori, the school opened its doors with lots of love and a bit of elbow grease in April 2006. Thanks to the hard work of Red Barn teachers, families, and board members past and present, the school has grown into the thriving community of learners it is today. Many alumni families still partake in school sponsored events and graduates often come back to visit their beloved former teachers and preschool.
At Red Barn Montessori we foster the love of learning in children by creating a safe environment of mutual respect and dignity. Our prepared Montessori environment meets the needs of the whole child, nurturing their fragile curiosity, creativity and intelligence through hands on learning. We guide children to achieve their full potential by empowering them with the independence and confidence to master their surroundings; intellectually, emotionally, and socially.
