Morning Glory Montessori School is a small, intimate Montessori-based preschool in Burlingame's historic Kohl Mansion, serving infants through kindergarten-prep children with a licensed capacity of 30. Founded in 1980 by educator-founders, the program has maintained over 45 years of continuity and philosophy, complemented by before- and after-school programs plus seasonal camps. The program delivers Montessori-based learning through a rich, individualized environment. Two Type B CCLD citations from 2022 and 2024 inspections warrant review before enrollment, and the absence of publicly available parent reviews across Google, Yelp, and mainstream childcare directories limits independent verification of the parent experience.
