Child care

Preschool
Montessori American School accepts children, ages 2-6, in Chula Vista and surrounding areas including but not limited to Eastlake, Bonita, San Diego, Imperial Beach, National City, and Coronado. Children do not have to be fully trained to be admitted. We offer early childhood programs in a Montessori setting where all age groups are present in the same classroom so that younger students can learn from older students. Also offered are extended care services, and enrichment classes that include Yoga, Spanish, Art, Art History, and Music. You should know that while many preschools have opened up lately, none have the experience of my (Edith Gruener) school. So the most important thing that we offer is dedication and academic excellence since 1988. Not only has my school been open since then, but many of my staff members and teachers have been with Montessori American School for more than 15 years! Personally, I have forty years of experience. This is actually my second school. Before opening the doors of Montessori American in '88, I owned another school beginning in 1977. I have two Montessori diplomas as well as a degree in child psychology. I don't have a class myself, because I like to supervise the classes once a month to be able to chat with the teachers, and give them my input. My teachers must have Montessori credentials. All of my staff is bilingual. Before hiring them, I like to see how they interact with children in a classroom where they might be working. All of my teachers have CPR training. The state regulation mandates that just one teacher in the whole school must have CPR training. But my teachers are all CPR-trained.

Hello! I am a military wife, and mother of two girls. My oldest daughter just started kindergarten. I love being home with my girls, and would love to offer after school care for your child. I would provide an environment for your child to do any homework that they may have, and also feed them dinner with our family, for a slightly higher fee. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have.

I am a licensed in-home child care provider operating in Chula Vista, near Tiffany Elementary. I offer before and after school care opportunities in the area as well as "camp" for school breaks. I also offer daycare services for younger children. I have been caring for children since I was in high school and have a diverse background. For school age children, I have worked with the YMCA 6 to 6 program as well as summer camps. I previously worked with the City of Chula Vista's Stretch literacy program. I have vast experience with little ones as well, having worked in preschools (ages newborn to 4) and most recently with the Headstart Program preschools. After my son, Ajay, was born in 2014, I decided to use my background and education to open my own child care facility while still caring for my child. I am creative, have extensive training in conducting activities and truly love what I do.
