Montessori House of Children, Van Nuys

Our philosophy of education, founded by Dr. Maria Montessori, features a child at work on self-selected tasks of interest in a carefully prepared environment, with the teacher as a guide in the learning process. The current success and broad presence of Montessori is based on a rich history. Dr. Montessori believed wholeheartedly that every child could be an agent for change and peace in the world. By nurturing the intellects and spirits of children, the Montessori method continues to positively affect our collective future. We believe that the Montessori method is more than knowledge it is “education for life”. Our purpose is to provide an outstanding academic education and to assist each child in developing mentally, emotionally, intellectually, socially and physically so that he/ she may become a responsible citizen in society. We believe that a child's upbringing is greatly influenced by a parent's (or guardian's) involvement. When you are actively involved in your child's upbringing, you are making your child strong, courageous, and willing to explore the unknown. We dedicate ourselves to make our school environment family friendly and a community coming together. We have an open door policy and encourage parents (or guardians) to visit any time. Parent's ( or guardian's) participation is welcome!
