Empowering Young Minds, One Child at a Time
Welcome to Montessori Academy, where we have been providing a nurturing environment for children to grow and learn for nearly 40 years. Our academy was established in 1986, and we take great pride in being a trusted name in the communities we serve. Our program is centered on the child-focused approach known as The Montessori Method, developed by Dr. Maria Montessori over a century ago.
Our Philosophy
Our program is designed to develop the whole child - socially, emotionally, and physically. We believe that every child is unique and should be treated as an individual. Our teachers observe and keep detailed records of each child's progress, creating individualized lesson plans to cater to their individual needs. We provide a dynamic academic curriculum that challenges each child to reach their full potential.

Why Montessori?
The Montessori Method is a child-centered approach that emphasizes self-directed learning and hands-on activity. It allows children to explore and discover concepts at their own pace, rather than following a traditional, teacher-led approach. Research has shown that Montessori students perform well academically and have better social skills, enjoying school more than their traditional school peers.
Our Facilities
We have three locations in Culver City, West Adams, and Downey, California. Our facilities are designed to provide a safe, welcoming, and comfortable environment for our students. Our campuses feature spacious classrooms, outdoor playgrounds, and on-site facilities for cooking, music, and arts.

At Montessori Academy, we are committed to providing a nurturing environment that encourages individualized learning, creativity, and socialization.
