Our Vision

To build a generation of thoughtful, innovative, and emotionally grounded children who grow into empowered leaders—at home, at school, and in the world.

A Legacy of Leadership Begins Here

At Bambini Montessori School, we are more than a school—we are a launchpad for the next generation of confident, capable leaders.

Located in the heart of San Francisco, our school was founded with one simple but powerful vision: to create an exceptional early education experience where brilliance, character, and independence are nurtured from the very start.

We serve families who seek more than traditional childcare. Our community is made up of high-achieving, purpose-driven parents who want their children to be curious thinkers, self-starters, emotionally intelligent leaders—and most importantly, kind humans.

A Message from Our Founder

“As both an educator and a mother, I understand the immense responsibility that comes with choosing the right school for your child. North Hills Montessori was born from my passion for child development, mental wellness, and educational excellence.

I built this school for families like mine—families who want their children to thrive, not just academically, but emotionally and socially as well. Every corner of our school is designed with purpose. Every teacher is selected with care. And every lesson is taught with your child’s future in mind.

At Bambini Montessori, your child will be seen. Challenged. Supported. And celebrated. We are honored to be part of their story.”
