Moraga Campus
Growing Light Montessori School of Moraga operates on the site of the the cherished Mulberry Tree Preschool. Our building is one of the oldest continuous preschools in Moraga, having been established in 1972. We are honored to continue the tradition of providing a loving environment for children to thrive while celebrating the legacy of a great Moraga institution and teacher. Our campus is nestled among the trees within the Moraga Commons Park, right along the Lafayette Moraga Trail and across the street from the Moraga Public Library. We are proud of the nature that surrounds our classrooms and incorporate the native species of wildlife and vegetation into our curriculum. We offer classes for Toddler, Preschool and TK/Kindergarten aged children.
