About this preschool

Arborland Montessori Children's Academy is a private Montessori school serving infants through 8th grade in Fullerton with two campuses. The school has operated for 38 years and emphasizes individualized learning plans, low teacher-student ratios, and academic success.

Philosophy
Each child is a unique individual with special needs and background who should be recognized as someone special. Children must feel safe, accepted, and competent in an encouraging, nurturing, supportive and challenging environment. The Montessori method treats each child as a unique learner, allowing students to progress at their own pace in a non-competitive atmosphere with a prepared environment that instills self-discipline.
