About this preschool

The Beginning Montessori Children's House is a 41-year-old Montessori preschool in West Hills, CA serving infants through kindergarten with 100% Montessori-based education. The school offers multiple enrichment programs including academics, arts, sports, and after-school activities.

Philosophy
Individuality – Each child learns at their own pace with individualized learning plans. An early start – Students establish order, concentration, coordination and independence through self-correction and self-assessment. A close, caring community – Multi-age classrooms spanning 3 years recreate family structure where older students mentor younger ones. Freedom with boundaries – Children participate in deciding their learning focus with teacher parameters. Student support in being seekers of knowledge – Teachers maintain environments where children have freedom and tools to seek solutions. Self-correction and self-assessment are important parts of the Montessori method.
