About this preschool

Arborland Montessori Children's Academy is a private Montessori school serving infants through 8th grade across two campuses in Fullerton for 38 years. The school emphasizes individualized learning plans, small teacher-student ratios, and a nurturing community environment.

Philosophy
Each child is a unique individual with special needs and background who should feel safe, accepted, and competent. The Montessori method uses a prepared environment that instills self-discipline and allows children to learn at their own speed in a non-competitive atmosphere.
