At Dana Point Montessori Preschool, we provide a nurturing, Montessori-inspired environment where your child can thrive. Our school is designed to support each child’s academic, social, and emotional development through a hands-on, individualized approach to learning.


At DPM, we offer a Montessori-inspired educational approach that focuses on hands-on learning, self-directed exploration, and the development of critical thinking skills. Our curriculum is thoughtfully designed to encourage independence and intellectual curiosity, supporting each child’s natural growth.

Our dedicated team of teachers brings years of experience, and we prioritize individualized instruction. By fostering a safe and supportive learning environment, we help our "friends" develop academically, socially, and emotionally.

We view our parents and families as an essential part of the educational journey. DPM is a place where families can connect, collaborate, and celebrate milestones through events, cultural days, and a transparent communication platform.
