Village Montessori School of Irvine:
Village Montessori School is located in the University Park area of Irvine in Orange County. We are a Montessori school offering programs to children from 2 years of age through to the third grade. The Village Montessori standards of excellence in program development, childcare, staff selection, and parent rapport, have led the University of California, Irvine, to choose our program to build and operate the University Montessori on their campus.
Montessori Programs:
Montessori Schools of Irvine programs are based on the strong foundation of early childhood education created by Dr. Maria Montessori. This method recognizes that children are born with an "absorbent mind" the natural ability to learn by spontaneously absorbing knowledge from their environment.
Based on this respect and understanding of the child, the Montessori environment encourages the child to explore. What they discover is an enriched world of beauty, peace, and interest to promote learning the natural way.
