Welcome to Hamilton Montessori School! We are a preschool for children ages 2-6 years old (toddler through kindergarten), located on the beautiful Unity In Marin campus in Novato, California. We are conveniently located off Highway 101 in a quiet and serene setting among the rolling hills of the Hamilton Field base. Our natural surroundings and intimate class settings create the perfect environment for learning and play.
We look forward to meeting you and your child(ren) as we venture forward on a journey of exploration, discovery, and learning. We have rolling enrollment for fall, spring, and summer sessions. Please contact us for a virtual tour to explore the beauty of the campus and the quality programs we offer.

A Place Where Nature Feeds the Spirit of the Child
At HMS, we combine science with love of learning, and nature with care of self, others, and the environment. Nestled in beauty, our permaculture program teaches children through the arts, practical living skills, and gardening, to begin with care of the earth, and extend it to care of others. Deer, egrets, doves, and other small living creatures combined with over 50 different kinds of plants and flowers, serve as a natural teaching environment for young people.
