ABOUT US
Founded in January 2006 by a team of four experienced educators with over 50 years of combined expertise in managing successful preschools, Angels Montessori Preschool was designed to set a new standard in early childhood education. The school underwent a meticulous nine-month renovation to create a welcoming, child-centered environment that equally supports teachers and parents, making it one of the premier preschools in California.
Our educational philosophy stems from extensive research and decades of hands-on experience in both Montessori and developmental school models. We believe that a Hybrid Montessori approach offers the best of both worlds, addressing children's academic growth alongside their social and emotional development. By blending the most effective elements from various teaching methodologies with the core principles of Montessori education, we’ve created a dynamic learning environment. Yet, our vision extends beyond traditional Montessori practices to embrace continuous innovation and holistic development for every child.
We aimed to create an excellent school environment that teaches multidimensional skills, including warmth and passion, discipline, organization, teamwork, experimentation, and much more. How do we build such an environment? By paying careful attention to every little detail and relentlessly innovating.
For example, we have a garden area where children can relax and enjoy nature. We were one of the first schools to introduce Apple iPads into our classrooms, and we continually upgrade our classrooms to keep them fresh, bright, interesting, and clutter-free. Our bathrooms are clean and well-lit to make kids feel comfortable, and we've designed a top-notch kitchen to offer a healthy "Hot Lunch" program. Good food choices made in preschool can lead to a lifetime of health.
In 2022, we began the process of installing flicker-free, color-adjustable and dimmable LED lights which was completed in 2024. More large touchscreen whiteboards, outdoor musical instruments, and enhancing the green space in our school are other projects we are working on. In 2024 we also installed 3M high security film on all our windows making it virtually impossible to break in. We also upgraded our electrical panel for better safety and will install a back up generator in 2025 in case there is a power failure.
Our teachers are well-treated and have a great lounge to relax in. A well-rested teacher is a happy teacher. The teachers also have access to powerful computers and excellent equipment to design amazing classroom materials. A clutter-free classroom and high-quality teaching materials make all the difference. Teachers undergo relentless training through our in-house training program to understand the needs of parents and children. Our staff also undergo seven hours of state-sponsored training and exams every two years for child abuse detection as mandatory reporters.
