Our North San Jose / Milpitas campus follows the same prepared-environment approach as every Valley Oak classroom — child-sized furniture, open shelving, and materials arranged so children can choose their own work and explore independently. Bright classrooms, a dedicated outdoor play area, and a quiet rhythm to the day give kids room to focus, move, and grow at their own pace.
Natural light and low, open shelving stocked with hands-on Montessori materials.
A secure outdoor space for daily fresh air, movement, and garden work.
Practical life stations sized for little hands — pouring, spooning, and more.
Every child at our North San Jose / Milpitas campus is guided by a Montessori-certified or early childhood educated team led by our site director.
Valley Oak began with a conversation between two friends who saw the same gap from opposite sides. After 30+ years in finance, Vinita watched families stretch every dollar for childcare and kept asking why a rich, academically grounded education should be out of reach. Varsha, with 25+ years in Montessori education, had spent her career watching children flourish when trusted to lead their own learning. Together, Vinita's vision for accessible education and Varsha's Montessori expertise became the foundation of a school built to be both deeply nurturing and genuinely accessible.
Ms. Lucy leads our North San Jose / Milpitas campus, building positive relationships and helping every child become a confident, productive member of their community.
"My most memorable moment is asking children why they love coming to school. They replied, 'Our friends.' Building positive relationships and helping children become productive members of society is why I love doing what I do!"
