Fostering children's natural curiosity and desire to learn since 1976
Welcome to
A Brief History
Founded in 1976, Rainbow Montessori began on a small school site in Campbell. Operations expanded over the years to include six more small school sites located across the South Bay Area. Eventually, those seven small schools were consolidated into our current site, located on the former campus of Sunnyvale High School.
Our School Today
Our current site affords us the space to provide care and education for close to 400 children, ranging in age from six weeks to sixth grade. The Montessori philosophy is utilized in all infant, toddler, preschool, kindergarten, and elementary programs.
"Education cannot be effective unless it helps a child open up himself to life."

Welcome to our first Montessori Monday! Every Monday, we'll be sharing a little bit about the Montessori method we embrace across all of our age groups, some history about Dr. Maria Montessori herself, inspiring quotes, and fun tips and ideas for helping you as parents and guardians embrace the Montessori philosophy at home. For our families unfamiliar with the Montessori Method, we hope these Monday tidbits will help you become better acquainted with the philosophy and what you can expect to see from your children’s classes.
