Overview
The Carmel Valley Montessori School is a community dedicated to the education of children guided by the educational philosophy of Maria Montessori. CVMS has provided unparalleled educational opportunities for the north coastal San Diego County’s youngest citizens since 2000. CVMS extends its tradition of “learning by doing” to the young children with a model preschool designed in every detail for their needs. The program is offered for ages 18 months to 5 years and is committed to preparing children for lifelong learning by teaching cooperation, challenging intellects, nurturing the desire to learn and engendering self-confidence. This happens in an environment that is fun, rewards curiosity and where the teachers care deeply about the development of the whole child.
Our Philosophy
Carmel Valley Montessori School is based upon the philosophy of Maria Montessori providing a positive environment for growth and learning; offering experiences that enrich and enhance each child’s cognitive, language, social, emotional, physical, creative and moral development. In a spirit of love and respect our teachers are responsive to each child’s individual needs. Children have opportunities to create, explore the environment, learn problem solving and personal interaction skills, and learn concepts through hands-on experiences at their own pace and interest level. This fosters independence, positive self-concept and enhances the child’s natural love of learning.
Carmel Valley Montessori School provides a nurturing, child-centered environment where individual needs are met at each stage of development. The Montessori manipulable materials are specifically designed to enhance the child’s natural love of learning along with a program led by well trained, devoted teachers facilitating growth on every level. A balanced curriculum of academics as well as music, art, gymnastics, cultural studies and character development help promote a well-rounded individual who has the highest potential to excel in every area of life.
