Additionally, we incorporate major aspects of Piagetian educational philosophy such as maturation, experience, and social interaction to obtain equilibration. In short, we employ as many approaches as possible to stimulate a child's love of learning and exploration. It is the mark of a good school that knows each and every child to address those needs that their developing mind requires.

We employ a daily recording system to monitor and determine what each child is learning and at what rate. At our bi-annual parent-teacher conferences, we share the data gathered with each parent. In this way, the school and the parents are active partners in the child's educational endeavors. All of the professional staff at Danville Montessori are certified by the State of California, some hold bachelor's and master's degrees, State of California teaching credentials and American Montessori Society (AMS) or Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) pre-primary teaching certificates.

In addition to the Montessori classroom time, the children are able to participate in structured music instruction given by a graduate of the Peabody Conservatory of Music. Dramatic play is offered and monthly field trips are scheduled to local areas of interest, such as Lawrence Hall of Science, The Oakland Zoo, and the Little Farm at Tilden Park. Danville Montessori School is a full affiliate member of the American Montessori Society (AMS), National Association for Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and Professional Association for Childhood Education (PACE).
