Welcome to AppleSeed AlmadenAppleSeed Almaden is a private preschool with a toddler program serving the Almaden Valley, Los Gatos, Campbell, and the greater San Jose areas. Our mission is to guide and support the development of the whole child – socially, emotionally, intellectually and physically – through the Montessori teaching method. We believe each child is like a little seed, full of potential, and in need of nourishment in a well-prepared environment. Our stimulating, organized classrooms offer a wide variety of hands-on Montessori materials which children utilize independently, individually and in small groups, under the careful guidance of our well-prepared teachers.
