Montessori Mornings

Montessori is more than just a school choice; it’s a way of life.

At Bay Area Montessori Playgroup, we bridge the gap between school and home, empowering you to confidently guide your child using Montessori principles every day.

Montessori Mornings offers a hands-on, immersive experience where children develop independence, confidence, and a love of learning.

In most schools, parents rarely see Montessori unfold in action. Here, we bring you into the experience—helping you observe, guide, and truly understand your child’s development.

Who We Are

At Bay Area Montessori Playgroup, we’re here to support you on your Montessori journey and help you gain the knowledge and confidence to raise capable, curious, and independent children.

Janani Bhuvaneswaran

Founder / Montessori AMI 0-6 Guide

As a mother and Montessori guide, I deeply understand both the varied challenges of the parent who hopes to build a strong foundation for their child and the teacher who hopes to draw out the best from each student. I started the Bay Area Montessori Playgroup to bridge that gap, making Montessori accessible in everyday family life.

By supporting and empowering you, I help strengthen your child’s journey, and this is why I do what I do.

Alyssa Fujita Karoui

Founder / Positive Parenting Educator & Circle of Security Parenting Facilitator

I know firsthand how overwhelming and exhausting parenting can feel—and how deeply you want to do it in a way that aligns with your values. That’s why I’ve dedicated my work to helping parents raise confident, thriving children while creating space for rest and joy.

My approach is:
Honest and Holistic: Grounded in your family’s unique needs.
Neuroscience-Informed: Rooted in the latest research on child development.
Attachment-focused: Prioritizes connection, trust, and relationship over control and compliance.
