Welcome to Discovery Montessori
A Montessori Preschool and childcare with play-based daycare, serving the families of Ladera Ranch, Rancho Mission Viejo, Los Flores, Mission Viejo, San Juan Capistrano, and the Coto de Caza communities.
As Montessori educators, we know that children have an innate love of learning, and that they learn through play. We provide an environment that allows each child to flourish in their crucial, early years. Within the nurturing environment of Discovery Montessori’s Early Childhood programs, children naturally work and play with interest and focus, developing a habit of concentration and love of learning that will last them a lifetime.
“The most important period of life is not the age of university studies, but the first one, the period from birth to the age of six.”
