In our daycare program your child is exposed to the same learning materials and opportunities as in our longer curriculum. In these shorter times with your child during daycare, we strive to accomplish the number one goal of La Crescenta Montessori: to install a love of learning into your child. In our daycare center, we believe in allowing your children to learn at their own pace in accordance with the Montessori Method, which instills these qualities:
Empowering Learning
Our Approach
Enjoying learning
Children explore at their own pace, supported by the Montessori Method, which enhances natural curiosity and knowledge retention.
Independence
We encourage self-driven learning, allowing children to solve challenges independently, building confidence and memory.
Long-Lasting Success
Our materials and nurturing environment help children retain foundational lessons, supporting future learning with ease and confidence.
Inspired by Innovation
The Montessori Method: A Legacy of Learning
La Crescenta Montessori is a school where we truly believe in the Montessori Method. Developed by the first female doctor in Italy, Dr. Maria Montessori (1870-1952), the Montessori Method is based on her experiences and discoveries while educating intellectually disabled children. Dr. Montessori created a series of techniques that allowed these children to take state tests alongside normal children. Not only were they able to take the tests, but Dr. Montessori’s students actually passed the tests at levels equal with their peers. She came to realize that her method was universal, and her techniques worked on students with or without mental handicaps.
A Safe Space for Learning and Growth
Unlocking Potential in Every Child
We know that welcoming a new child and taking on the responsibility of their education can be an overwhelming experience. That is why we have designed our infant care program to support you and your child every step of the way. Our trained Montessori teachers are experts in infant development and will be able to leverage natural processes of your baby’s brain to foster their intellectual growth.
