About
Montessori Preschool offers a year-round, academically focused program rooted in an authentic Montessori approach. Children work with hands-on materials that support physical, sensorial, language, and mathematical development, as well as culture, science, art, and music. Classrooms are prepared to encourage independence and child-centered learning, with mixed age groups and teachers who observe and guide rather than directly instruct.
• Ages: 2–6 years old
• Schedule: School hours 7:30am–6:00pm
Montessori Preschool was established in January 1996 and has served families for over 30 years and counting. The program includes a toddler program, preschool, and kindergarten, with part-time and full-time options, enrollment year-round depending on availability, and Holiday Day Care available. The teacher–child ratio is 8:1, and the staff includes dedicated AMS-trained teachers and multilingual staff who speak English, Spanish, Japanese, and Tagalog. The program also offers toddler toilet training.
The mission of Montessori Preschool states that its curriculum sparks curiosity, inspires creativity, and builds a foundation for lifelong learning, centering on each child’s individual needs and pace of exploration and development. The environment is described as supportive and nurturing, with a focus on the whole child, including academic, social, emotional, and physical development, and a method that fosters independence, discovery, self-discipline, and self-motivation. The school has served families in Culver City, Playa Vista, Mar Vista, Marina del Rey, Venice, Playa del Rey, Westchester, Santa Monica, and Inglewood.
Parents describe kind and thoughtful teachers, a thoughtfully designed curriculum, and staff who are loving and invested in the children. Testimonials mention Montessori lessons, lots of artwork, a mix of play-based and academic studies, flexible after-school care arrangements, and children who enjoyed their time at the school and felt prepared for kindergarten. Specific teachers, including Ms. Maria and Ms. Virginia, are mentioned by name in several parent reviews.
