Lone Mountain Children’s Center

Lone Mountain Children’s Center, located in the Presidio of San Francisco national park site and just steps from the Golden Gate Bridge, was established as a private, non-profit preschool in 1974. Its mission is to provide a high-quality developmental theme-based preschool program for children aged two years and seven months through five years and six months.  

The Lone Mountain philosophy is to meet and accept each child as he or she comes to us. They work first to understand each child’s unique developmental profile. From this understanding, they  strive to build on a child’s relative developmental strengths while giving special attention to those areas which are less strong. Most importantly, they believe that when a child is provided with the opportunity to preserve and enhance a positive sense of self, then the essential foundation for all learning and self-actualization has been established.  

At Lone Mountain, the goal is for each child to have a positive and fun first school experience and to leave well prepared to meet life’s further adventures.
