Redbud Montessori is a small, highly respected Montessori center at 27082 Patwin Rd in Davis, California, serving Pre-K and Kindergarten children in an intimate setting with a capacity of 36. Operating continuously since September 1984, it holds California's longest CCLD licensure (570307832) among Montessori centers in Davis and maintains a perfect recent regulatory record with zero citations across all inspections in 2023, 2024, and 2025. The center's parent cooperative nonprofit structure fosters strong community engagement, and its teaching staff—marked by low turnover and extensive experience—supports children's development well above grade level using Montessori methodology and individualized pacing. The small capacity and limited online review presence mean interested families should contact the center early at (530) 753-2623 or karen@redbudmontessori.org to verify enrollment availability and current operations.
