Montessori observed that the young child has an absorbent mind which literally takes in every sight, sound, smell, touch and experience in the environment. It is because of this sponge-like way of learning that we seek, in the Montessori environment, to surround the child with beauty and order. When good music, art and well-spoken language are the norm, this is what the child assimilates.
The curriculum at our Montessori school is structured as an integrated approach to learning. As students progress through the grades, a diverse set of concepts are presented and reinforced. Children are given repeated opportunities to learn and grow overtime in order to solidify their knowledge. Children at our school have a greater opportunity to practice the skills being taught and this approach emphasizes the interconnected nature of learning.
Children can begin our academic programs at age 2. We have developed curriculum through 2nd grade. There is a one time registration fee and then it is just month to month payment after that. Is my child restricted to bring nuts or daily due to other children having a food allergy?.
If they are still in pull ups/diapers we ask that you bring us a sleeve of pull ups (the ones that open on the side), wipes, extra change of clothes, their lunch, and bedding for nap time if they will be napping.We are very flexible as far as coming by to tour our facility. We want to make sure a time has been blocked out for you to check us out so give us a call and let us know when you want to come by!

I have 2 children, ages 7 and 5 and we have been at Marina Montessori for three years. I cannot say enough great things about this school. The teachers have all been caring, compassionate and creative in their teaching. I am very happy with their curriculum and the teachers have always spent time with my kids making sure they are learning and not following behind when certain concepts have been difficult for them to grasp. Everyone is very personable and you can tell they know each and every student personally. My son was very nervous about starting school and they went above and beyond to make

My child is now six years old. He has attended marina Montessori school since he was two. His academic level is extremely advanced, due to the Montessori curriculum. He is currently in miss Brittney‘s class and every day he comes home telling me what he learned to new at school and it is so impressive!! My son is succeeding in every subject and the one on one attention they give each child has done him wonders! I have never had one complaint that I had to make In all of these years. I can’t only boast about the academics and curriculum. Every employee at Marina Montessori school truly cares

WHAT I LOVE:
The staff at Marina Montessori is dedicated to providing high-quality early childhood education. Let me tell you, it shows! My son has been attending MMS now for almost 4 years. He loves telling me all about his day (in detail) and I love hearing it. Compassionate Teachers = Successful Learners.
WHAT MY CHILD LOVES:
Truly looks forward to attending school everyday. He loves reading!
DISLIKES:
Knowing that one day he will "age out" of Marina Montessori. However, he has a rock solid foundation to transition onto Elementary School, when that time comes.

My daughter attended several years ago for 3 years. We loved our experience, everyone at Marina is so awesome, friendly, understanding and accommodating. The kids do work at their own pace. My daughter was given an opportunity to work at the pace best for her and learned so much. We have still kept in touch with quite a few and I would recommend this school to anyone looking!

My kid has been enrolled in this school for four months and I must say that I am so impressed with what they are learning. hTe curriculum is a great balance between work and play. My kid loves her teachers, who integrate a fantastic balance between learning and play. The director and staff are amazing. They are always available when I need to talk to someone and I would highly recommend this montessori school when looking for a preschool in the Long Beach area.

My son and I have been apart of the Marina Montessori family for 3 years. Choosing this school for my son has been the best decision I have ever made in regards to his educational development. The teachers here are amazing and it shows not only through their teaching skills but also through the personal connections they have with each child. My son has learned so much during his time at Marina Montessori and in my opinion he is far more advanced then he would have been had he stayed in public school. Marina Montessori provides a safe, clean, and healthy learning environment for children as well

We have attended 3 very different area preschools over the last 3 years. Each had their advantages. Marina Montessori stands out as most parent friendly. They are by far the most flexible--schedules are easy here. The cost is low, and parents are treated much like "customers".
We left for a year and a half to attend the truly excellent and beautiful (but expensive) Little Owl School. Our particular circumstances lead us next to Kidworks, our nearest school. They provide a full, structured program at a moderate cost but are less flexible and our girl was not able to comply with their style and
