Educare Children's Center

Educare Children's Center is a Montessori-based, bilingual preschool where children take part in circle time, academic subjects, songs, calendars, grace and courtesy lessons, and hands-on art experiences. The program follows Montessori philosophy, including a prepared environment with practical life, sensorial, language, math, and cultural subjects, as well as mixed-age groups and specific ground rules such as using a soft speaking voice, walking in the classroom, caring for materials, returning materials to shelves, asking permission to join another child's activity, and not harming or hurting anything. Circle time is a teacher-directed activity at the beginning of the day.

• Ages: 2–5 years old
• Schedule: Year-round school operating Monday through Friday, generally between 7:30am and 5:00pm, with an academic curriculum from September through June and summer themes in July and August

Educare Children's Center is a privately owned, licensed, and independent school offering toddler and preschool/transitional kindergarten programs year-round and serving the Marin County community. The mission of Educare Children’s Center is: “Where curiosity grows, independence thrives, and every child discovers the joy of learning. At Educare, we create a safe, nurturing space where children can explore, play and learn at their own pace. Our classrooms are design to spark curiosity, encourage independence and support each child's growth-intellectually, socially, emotionally, and physically.” Educare was founded in 2009.

The leadership team includes Founder and Co-Director Rossana Broll, Co-Director Katia Escobar, and Teacher Coordinator Beatriz Gonzalez. Rossana Broll obtained her degree in Early Childhood Education in Guatemala and pursued her Montessori Teacher certification. In her prior work, she created a Montessori environment for infants and young toddlers that emphasized freedom of movement, exploration, and self-discovery. Katia Escobar holds a Master’s degree in Education from Universidad del Pacífico Sur in Mexico, a B.A. in Communication, a Business Management AS degree from CCSF, and a Montessori Teacher Credential from MTEC San Francisco Bay Area. Beatriz Gonzalez holds an Associate of Science degree in Early Childhood Education, is Montessori trained, and has completed coursework in supervision and administration.
