About Us

About the School
Irvine Montessori School is a brand-new school that serves Irvine residents as well as the Irvine Business Center community. We cater to toddlers and primary and K1 children. Our school promotes the teachings of Dr. Maria Montessori, who believed that everyone deserves the opportunity to become the most “complete” person possible. Continuing her work, we are dedicated to growing confidence, creativity and strength in each of the children entrusted to our care.

Like the first Casa de Bambini that Maria Montessori opened in 1907 in Rome, ours is a “house” for children – not a classroom, but a “community.” It is a special learning environment designed for your child – to touch, experience, care for and learn from.

Philosophy, Purpose and Goals
The goal of our program is to nurture the unfolding of the child’s potential by providing love and security, as well as encouragement and appreciation of the child’s efforts. We provide a specially prepared environment where the child will find a foundation on which to establish abstract thinking and stimulation, and the opportunity to learn by doing with reality-based concrete materials. This personal involvement and experience gives the child a love of learning that he / she will take with him / her for life.

At Irvine Montessori School, each child progresses at his or her own pace – free to choose from and work with a world of vivid “sensorial” materials and tools of “discovery.” Our dedicated staff encourages independent thinking and individual learning. We work toward the enhancement of each child’s awareness of and participation in the “wholeness of life.”
