Toddler Program

Our Toddler Program serves children 18-36 months with practical life exercises, sensory exploration, and vocabulary enrichment. Children develop independence through activities like pouring, sweeping, and table setting while learning self-care and social skills in a safe, nurturing environment. Toilet-training support is provided as part of the curriculum.

Primary Class

Designed for 2-3.5 year olds, this program builds social skills and academic foundations through hands-on materials. Children engage in multi-sensory learning experiences covering language, math, geography, art, science, and music with daily Spanish lessons enhancing cultural understanding.

Advanced Primary

For children 3.5-6 years, this program develops reading fluency through phonics, math mastery with concrete materials, and scientific exploration. Mixed-age classrooms promote peer learning while fostering independence, critical thinking, and preparation for future academic success through Montessori methods.

Extended Care

Flexible extended care options available from 7:30am-5:30pm, including AM/PM sessions and hourly rates. Programs accommodate working families with toddler classroom fees and non potty-trained child support included in care packages.

Bilingual Education

Daily Spanish instruction integrated into all programs enhances language acquisition and cultural awareness. Our immersive approach develops communication skills while promoting cognitive flexibility and appreciation for linguistic diversity through age-appropriate activities and materials.

My sons been attending for about a month.
Hes doing so well. The first couple of days he cried in the morning. But he was waiting with a smile when I picked him up. So I knew this place was right for him. And Teachers are friendly and experienced. It was the best decision.

I cant speak highly enough about this preschool! We love the staff, awesome location, and the price is right for the quality of this academy. Great communication from the owner/teachers. Clean, organized, and the benefits I see in my son is extraordinary. He comes home every day happy and thrilled to tell me of his many adventures. Thank you KVMA

We had a great experience hosting a presentation for parents here! Unconventional because it's normally a birthday/party space on the weekends, but Norma and Gabi went above and beyond to help make our event a success. Muchisimas gracias a ustedes. Definitely recommend for parties and preschool, they're amazing.

It's my daughter's (2.5yrs old) second year attending the Montessori academy in Chula Vista and she is thriving! Every morning she is so excited to see her teachers! After school she has so much to say about her day. The teachers are very inviting and the learning materials are fantastic!

My kids love this place! They are excited to try the new STEAM classes! The best part is that I can take my laptop, use the wifi, and know that my kids are having fun NOT in front of the TV screen while I get some stuff done. I can even enjoy a HOT cup of coffee which would probably go cold at my house.

This is the second time I've been to a Kid Venture location, the first one being at liberty station. I think the only reason why I came back this 2nd time was because it's the closest indoor play area near my house. I do not understand this place! Unless you have a child who is 2 years old or younger, this place is a joke! It cost $18 every time you come in unless you get a membership where you pay monthly or $95 for 8 visits that never expire, but I do not think its worth it. There's not very many toys to play with and no outside food or drinks allowed, but they close their cafe at 130pm for the

We LOVE Kid Ventures! The staff is amazing and make us feel so welcome everytime we come. Ms Rosanna is just the sweetest and my daughter loves to see her. We have the membership that is worth every penny and they give a great military discount. A nice place for you to relax and kids have a blast.
