Foothill Progressive Montessori School opened at this site in 1994. The preschool's key objective is to develop students' strong academic skills, but it also focuses on social skills, physical fitness, charity work, an appreciation for music and dance, and an understanding of cultural diversity. The school enrolls children ages 2 to 5. The curriculum includes sensorial exercises, which help children use their senses to relate new information to information they already have; math; language; geography; history; cultural awareness; cooking and nutrition; arts and crafts; science and nature; and practical life exercises, such as washing dishes or polishing shoes.
