Montessori on the Lake

Montessori on the Lake offers a quality education and a nurturing environment to culturally diverse families from South Orange County.

We strive to:

Implement an individualized child-centered curriculum that includes movement, manipulation and discovery within a multi-age classroom.
Facilitate the delivery of that curriculum in a manner that instills a sense of wonder about the universe and the child’s place in it.
Engage families in active participation in their children’s education. Parent involvement is the inspiration that fires a love of learning.
Extend the classroom out into the community, creating a web of exchange among community members, family and teachers and inspires that child to become a global citizen.

Our primary goal as teachers and caregivers is to respect each infant and toddler on his or her path toward self-development

The classroom allows their new sense of autonomy and independence to flourish

A world that is rich in texture, color, developmentally appropriate materials and the beauty of nature is at their reach

We encourages the development of concentration, self-esteem, research skills, curiosity, self-direction, and active learning
