A Lifetime of Friendships Start Here ..!
We are so happy to have found Dana Point Montessori for two of our daughters.​
This is the most welcoming and clean school I had toured. The teachers and aides are all so caring and are truly happy to be there. In addition, the art and music teachers were outstanding!

Welcome
to Our School
At Dana Point Montessori, we help children grow and expand their comfort zone in a way that is safe, secure and highly individualized. In our school, we believe that establishing a strong foundation in the early years significantly enhances a child’s potential for future learning. Our goal is to foster self-esteem, independence, and a lifelong love of learning.
​
We take pride in our authentic Montessori curriculum, truly adhering to its principles to ensure that your child enjoys a highly effective and enriching experience. Through the Montessori method, we empower children to learn and grow at their own pace, encouraging them to explore the world around them and pursue their individual interests.
​
Our curriculum and enrichment activities invite children to try new things and discover their passions while socializing and collaborating with peers. In our mixed-age classrooms, older children take on leadership roles by teaching and supporting younger ones, reinforcing their own learning and confidence. We believe that self-assurance is integral to a quality education, and we strive to provide both in every aspect of our program.

“She looks forward to it everyday! Our Granddaughter goes to this school. When our daughters were this age, they weren’t nearly as excited to go to school as our little pumpkin. She looks forward to it every day! Lena and her team do a fantastic job and I highly recommend them. "

The school itself is clean and spacious and the director, holds student well being and safety as a top priority."
