Welcome to Montessori School of San Clemente


Our Mission is to provide a safe, healthy, happy environment where children thrive both academically and emotionally as they discover a passion for learning.

Why do so many families choose Montessori?

Individualized learning

Lessons are designed and given to each child when they are most ready to learn.

Whole child education

Social, emotional, and physical development is emphasized along with academic skills.

Empowered by choice

Freedom to move and choose activities fosters independence and self-confidence.

Supported by research

Current neurology and human development research consistently backs Montessori.

"The goal of early childhood education should be to activate the child's own natural desire to learn."

Maria Montessori

Our Programs

Encouraging developmental growth in a loving and secure environment.

What Our Families Say

"My husband and I have been so impressed with the Montessori of SC. Our 3 YO daughter has been enrolled there for close to 2 years and we have loved all of her teachers. She has learned leaps and bounds while enrolled there and has thrived.

The administrative staff is also superb and communicate very well and are extremely accommodating in general. We love it so much, we will soon be sending our newborn there when I return to work. Thanks Montessori of SC; we LOVE you!"

Ellen M.

"We can't say enough about the staff at this school. Our daughter has been going here for over 2 years now and being our first child, we feel so fortunate that this is the partner we chose in helping us raise our little girl. We certainly went through our own fears in leaving her in the hands of strangers. These strangers soon became friends as her teachers were so helpful in making her comfortable and teaching us techniques to best support our little one at home.

I can't believe it has already been 2 years and we are very fortunate to have such wonderful support!"

Josh M.

"Montessori of San Clemente has been a wonderful experience. My daughter is now 21 months and has been in both the infant and toddler room. She has done so well and is always so happy when she comes home. She is also well rested!


The first thing I noticed even the first week we went to this school is truly how happy and chatty my daughter was when I picked her up. This was because she had fun , was fed well, loved lots and well rested. I highly recommend this school."
