Preschool program:
The preschool program is for children 2 to 5 years of age. We follow a structured educational program schedule from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm every weekday. Extended hours are available between 6:30am to 6:30pm.
Most local preschools have academic program only in the mornings; and the rest of the day is primarily baby-sitting. We instead have a balanced academic program all day long from 8:30 am till 5:30 pm. There are multiple 3-hour-sessions starting at 8:30 am, 11:30 am and 2:30 pm. This allows parents with different work schedules to still be able to provide their kids with quality academic education instead of baby sitting.
The three sessions are identical so signing up for either of the sessions provides the same level of academic education. Kids gain immensely by repetition so parents have the choice of enrolling in as many sessions and as many days as they like.

Children follow a curriculum based on Montessori methodology. The Curriculum involves developmentally appropriate Montessori jobs, art/craft, reading/writing/math worksheets and free-play.
Random days/hours program:
Besides the programs offered at this preschool, if your child ever needs additional time not included in any program, you may buy additional hours, sessions or weeks at a fixed rate.
Pay-per-use Drop-off program:
Routine preschool for children does not fit into schedule of life of many parents. For them we have a drop-off program. There is a flat hourly fee. You may drop-off and pick up your child at any time of your choice any day.
After-school Program (Currently only in Irvine):
After-school program is from the school-end time (including early off days) till 5:30 pm. Please click here for after-school fees details.
Aside from the sessions that you sign up for, if you need additional hours, they are available for a nominal fee for each additional half hour everyday.Click on this link to access the after-school application form.
As is the case with every quality Montessori program, seats are limited and are available on first-come-first-served basis. Please send the information about your child and the choice of program so that we can begin the process of registration and contact you about the availability.
Please read the Parent handbook for the preschool policies.
