Giving Students the Best, So They Can Be Their Best
Welcome to Rainbow Montessori, a high quality Montessori School in the Parkside District of San Francisco. We are located in the beautiful McCoppin Square Park in the Parkside District of San Francisco. Surrounded by trees, grass and a outdoor playground, our school gives the urban child an unusual opportunity to work and play in a setting of natural beauty. We also have the Parkside Library located in our park.
Our classroom environment contains especially designed manipulative materials for development that invites children to engage in learning activities of their own individual choice under the guidance of a trained and experienced teacher. Children will learn by making discoveries with materials that cultivate concentration, motivation, self-discipline, and a love of learning.
Our curriculum and programs are designed to build a strong foundation in academics as well as social, emotional, physical and moral development. We offer an enriching curriculum based on the five components of the Montessori Approach: Practical Life, Sensorial, Math, Language, Culture.

Parent Testimonials
“Candace Cusack is exceptional in every way. Her thoughtfulness, experience, poise, and deep insight are unparalleled in the preschool community in San Francisco. Both our daughters have gone there and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome. She excels at understanding child psychology and applies her decades of training with the utmost care and kindness. We’ve been in this city for several years and have talked to hundreds of parents over our time here. Rainbow ranks AT or very near the top preschool in the city hands down.”
“We are very happy with Rainbow Montessori. The program and staff members are fantastic. Ms. Candace, principal and owner is an outstanding Montessori educator. The small community this school provides has also been one of the most fantastic things of being part of. My kid has been so happy and learning so fast. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for a Montessori school in the sunset”
“Our son just graduated Rainbow and his experience was phenomenal. We watched him grow and develop from a playful 2.5-year-old to a caring, attentive, empathetic and exuberant 5-year-old. Ms. Candace is a miracle worker in helping kids develop socially in a truly loving and supportive environment, while also teaching a robust Montessori program. Our son well prepared for kindergarten, beyond what is needed (counting into the thousands, a solid foundation of sight reading and phonetics, geography, cultural sensitivity and an ability to name his feelings and ask for help, rather than just acting out of frustration). Rainbow was wonderful for us and our son, who has a great group of friends he’ll keep in touch with, and the confidence to go into elementary school.”
