About this preschool

Beach Cities Montessori is a Montessori preschool in El Segundo, CA serving children ages 2–6 in a prepared learning environment based on Dr. Maria Montessori's method. The school emphasizes child-centered learning, independence, hands-on exploration, and development of the whole child.

Philosophy
Child-centered approach where children learn best when free to follow their natural curiosity in a carefully designed environment. Children choose meaningful, hands-on work at their own pace, guided by trained teachers who observe and introduce new materials based on developmental readiness rather than a fixed calendar. The goal is to develop independence, deep focus, empathy, and a lifelong love of learning—building a strong inner compass rather than simply preparing children to pass tests.
