Our Approach
Learning Through Discovery
The Montessori method trusts children as natural learners — curious, capable, and eager to explore the world around them.
Child-Led Learning
Each child follows their own curiosity, choosing activities that match their developmental readiness and interests.
Prepared Environment
Our classrooms are thoughtfully arranged with beautiful, purposeful materials that invite exploration and independent discovery.
Whole-Child Development
We nurture academic, social, emotional, and physical growth — because every dimension of a child matters.
Experienced Guides
Our AMI/AMS-trained teachers observe, support, and inspire — never directing, always encouraging.

My experience with Children's Montessori has been by far the best! They offer additional classes for the children, healthy meal options and staff that caters to multiple ages. If you're nearby and are considering a daycare please don't pass up this local gem. My daughter loves the entire staff and so do we.

I am beyond grateful to have found Children's Montessori Center. Earlier this year, my former childcare provider was tragically destroyed in the Altadena fires, leaving me in search of a new daycare for my soon-to-be two-year-old. After months of searching, we enrolled my son at Children's Montessori in July, and it has been an absolute blessing. The teachers are incredible—caring, attentive, and dedicated to creating a structured, nurturing environment. My son is thriving here, learning new skills, and enjoying the opportunity to play with his peers. I also appreciate the lunch program, which is not only nutritious but also aligns perfectly with our kosher lifestyle. I couldn't be happier with the care and education my son is receiving at Children's Montessori Center. It truly feels like a second home for him, and I'm so thankful we found such a wonderful place.

My 2 year old son and 8 month old daughter just started here 3 weeks ago and absolutely love it! Teacher Jeremiah has an incredible way of working with the kids instilling life skills and learning personal boundaries. My son is a "screamer" and usually doesn't like being away from mom or dad but he has no issues here and gets exited when getting ready for school. My 8 month old reaches for the teacher as soon as she sees her and doesn't even look back when dropping her off. I'm thankful to know that my little ones are safe and cared for while mom and dad are at work. Thank you, Dima and staff, your hard work and patience is appreciated by our family!

My son is 5 months old and just started earlier this month. So far we've had a great experience. He gets to go on walks and the teachers were great navigating his sudden bottle aversion on week one. You can tell the new management is really going above and beyond for the kids. They're even hosting an Easter petting zoo next week.
