At Laguna Niguel Montessori Center, our mission is to use the celebrated Montessori approach to teaching and provide children with a high-quality education that prepares their mind and heart for the future. As an AMS (American Montessori Society) affiliate, we hold ourselves to the highest standards of Montessori pedagogy. All of our lead teachers are required to hold Montessori certifications. Children are active participants in their learning and have freedom within limits in the classroom. The classroom environment encourages independence, focus, concentration, and self-discipline. Children feel empowered by choosing their own work in the classroom and completing it for as long as they choose, thereby boosting self-confidence and self-concept. Our low student-teacher ratios support each developmental age group, optimize learning, and allow for individualized academic instruction. Our toddler classrooms operate under an 8:1 ratio and our primary classrooms operate under a 12:1 ratio. Children are free to move about the classroom comfortably, choosing when and how to interact with their peers during group work or individual work. We accept Children's Home Society, Department of Education, and CalWorks

Our outdoor play area is spacious and filled with age appropriate toys for a fun filled and yet fruitful experience. We offer childcare for families looking for their child a loving and kind environment that is just like home. Safety of the children is our number one priority. At our home daycare, the goal is to help children learn important psychological, social, emotional and behavioral skills that prepare them for a meaningful and satisfied future. Although we are a family child care, we will be also teaching the Montessori materials to nourish their self confidence and hands-on learning experience. We provide healthy, nutritious and yummy lunches and snacks. Since this is a small family daycare we maintain our ratios low to ensure the children get more loving and personalized care. We are waiting to warmly welcome your new family to ours here at Shining Stars.

FAQs for finding Montessori schools near you in Laguna Niguel, CA

The way that Montessori schools differ from other educational approaches near you in Laguna Niguel, CA is by their philosophy. Montessori schools are unique because they emphasize a student-centered learning experience that differs drastically from traditional educational approaches. Montessori education focuses on allowing students to learn in their own way, promoting self-directed learning and exploration. Montessori emphasizes the development of the individual as well as academics, focusing on building independent critical thinking skills and cultivating independence.

Choosing a Montessori school near you in Laguna Niguel, CA for your child can be an important decision, as you want to be sure that the school environment is conducive to their needs. To ensure safety when selecting a Montessori school, research the accredited Montessori training that staff must have completed and look for reviews from other families. Learning about Montessori-specific philosophies such as respecting the needs of the whole child and individualized learning can also help you make an informed decision. Another way to determine if a Montessori school is right for you is by observing activities in the classroom, such as children working independently on tasks while maintaining order and cooperation with others.

Montessori schools provide tremendous benefits to children's development! Montessori education focuses on fostering independence, self-direction and problem-solving skills among students. Montessori classrooms are designed with developmentally appropriate activities that allow children to take ownership of their learning and investigate topics that interest them while also developing their physical and motor skill sets. Montessori teachers strive to create an atmosphere where students feel secure. The Montessori educational approach emphasizes a hands-on, cooperative environment where children can learn from one another in a non-competitive atmosphere.
