Our Philosophy and Goals
The philosophy of San Juan Montessori is inspired by the educational thoughts of Dr. Maria Montessori who created the models for the classrooms and for the developmental learning materials. Like Dr. Montessori, we recognize that education requires an ethical environment in which the values of the community are respected and the worth of the individual protected.
Our preschool in San Juan Capistrano offers an individualized academic program, which promotes independence and unsurpassed scholastic achievement. We see in each child, the future of society, of our nation, and of our planet. The child process of fundamental development has unlimited possibilities and the future rests on our ability to cultivate this potential. It is our belief that each child is a unique individual with his own special needs and background, and should be recognized as someone special. In order for the child to grow and learn, he must first feel safe, accepted, and competent in an environment that is encouraging, nurturing, supportive, and challenging. There are few other preschools in San Juan Capistrano and Orange County who begin these fundamentals at the early age of only two years old.
As our San Juan Capistrano preschool Montessori educators, we believe in an approach to education and life, which respects each child’s self-concept and developmental needs. The staff at San Juan Montessori are experienced and credentialed preschool teachers.
We believe that the child and his needs are a central and commanding focus of the learning process. It is the role of the school to observe, to know, and to defend the child as he proceeds through the stages of development.

Parents are the first and primary teachers of their children, and when parents and the preschool work in partnership, benefits for the children are greatly enhanced. In addition, parents also share in the school life of their child by attending parent-teacher conferences, open houses, and field trips. Classroom observations and discussions with teachers further advise parents about their child's experience at preschool. We believe preparing them for the future. Parents also enjoy attending regular social functions throughout the year. We enjoy getting together, having holiday programs and and other gatherings in our San Juan Capistrano family environment. Let’s take this journey together and give compassion and guidance to each child individually.
