WHO WE ARE

The goal of our schools is to provide excellent academic programs and childcare within a safe, loving environment. We offer a variety of affordable programs including half day, full day and full extended day to meet the needs of working parents. Our programs include a free lunch with milk and two snacks each day for our students.

The executive administrator enrolled her young children in a Montessori school and was very impressed with the method used to teach her children and also with their academic progress. She began volunteering as an aide at her children’s school to find out more about the way in which her children were learning. After volunteering for a time she was so convinced that children thrive in a Montessori environment that she enrolled in a Montessori training program and earned a Montessori diploma as a qualified teacher.

Upon moving to California she earned an additional Montessori diploma from International Association of Progressive Montessorians (IAPM-USA) and continued her teaching career. After teaching for a period of time she was promoted to Center Administrator.

As a parent she saw that her children excelled throughout their academic career due to the strong education they received as young children. She is a proud parent of three adult children (a statistician, a medical doctor and a Montessori teacher). Her desire to extend the opportunity of a Montessori education to many more families prompted her to start her own school.

In 1998, we started our first school in Chino with only 23 children and within six short months had an active enrollment of 88 children. We extended our services by opening a second school in Chino Hills with 19 children and soon had an enrollment of over 90 children. In 2006, we acquired Discovery World in Diamond Bar and converted it to a fully equipped Montessori school. Now we are pleased to be back at the place where it all began, the Montessori Academy of Chino

We are convinced that the strong academic programs and nurturing environment provided by the staff at our three Montessori facilities will enable your children to achieve a higher level of success in all future endeavors. This is evident by the fact that our past pupils often get admitted to the prestigious GATE (The Gifted and Talented Education) program.

We take great care in selecting the most experienced Montessori teachers. We are proud to have AMI, AMS and IAPM qualified lead teachers in the classrooms at each of our schools. Our loving staff provide a nurturing environment that encourages each child’s individuality and academic and social growth. Our teachers team with parents to provide the best possible school experience for all our children.

We are located at 4511 Riverside Drive Chino, CA 91710. Our Center is conveniently located near the 60 and  71 Freeways.

We encourage you to visit our Center for an individual tour to learn more about the Montessori method of education and what we have to offer your children.
