Dana Point Montessori Preschool

The toddler program is preparing the child for the Primary Program. We work on potty training. The children work on things like sitting in circle time and lining up to transition inside/outside. Many sensorial activities are introduced and real life items are used in the classroom.

When glancing in the window, you might find a child watering plants, washing dinosaur toys, sorting colors, doing yoga poses, etc. Children want to do what parents do, and feel a sense of pride for their classroom when they are able to help and do these everyday activities.We offer part time and full time programs in the toddler classroom.

We offer lunches for $5 per day. Parents are able to sign up in advance or the morning of. Lunches are made fresh at the school. We cook with organic and natural ingredients when possible. We keep in mind what children enjoy eating and blend the two together for tasty, healthy meals. The school provides both morning and afternoon snack.

Once a week our Primary students participate in an Art Class with Ms. Tedra. They will focus on a new artist each lesson. They use pencils, markers, water colors, clay and many other mediums. Some pieces will be saved throughout the school year and given in a portfolio at the end of the year. This is an additional class that is a part of our curriculum.
