Monarch Bay Montessori Academy

Finding the perfect school for your little one is a daunting and anxious task. You always want your child to have the best of the best and that’s what you have here folks. Our son has been going to MBMA since he was 2.5 and has grown so much! The Montessori method helps each and every child thrive. He just turned four and his current favorite topic he loves to talk about is the solar system and astronauts; I’m mind blown. His social/real-life skills are extraordinary for a little dude and it’s because of MBMA.

MBMA is a place of love. The school directors and teachers care so much about their students and the students are taught to be kind to one another and look out for each other. The big kids are so good with the little ones, and the little ones want to be just like the big kids! And the support goes beyond the students; the parents are very supportive of each other. It’s a special community you’ll want to be apart of. This school is highly recommended.

Best school ever.  We are so grateful to MBMA for providing our son and daughter with an environment that stimulates their minds, sharpens their skills, and expands their imagination.  They have received a fantastic education while learning social skills that we can be proud of.  Monarch Bay Montessori has helped us to become better parents.  Thank you.

I really think that finding an amazing school for your kids feels like one of the holy grails of parenting. And MBMA truly is it. Hear me out -- I feel extra qualified to make this bold statement Bc we&#39;ve tried it all. I read all the books and blogs about how to best support my firstborn when I had to go back to work full time (and you&#39;ve probably felt the same agony about nannies vs au pairs vs daycares). We did the nann(ies) route for a while but it&#39;s honestly just hard to find the perfect person. We then decided to look for a daycare and I feel like I toured all the ones possible to find in laguna beach (where we lived at that time). Again, I felt like I had to compromise on kind of major issues (one place tried to sell me on how important playing in literal dirt is for kids and others had frazzled teachers) but I was getting desperate. We decided on a place but after weeks of my son coming home covered in all that dirt, I realized that I was paying way too much money to be this disgruntled. I spread out my search and found MBMA a decade ago. And it is perfect for us. The teachers truly love my kids (and it&#39;s not just lip service; we can all can feel it). The space is a Montessori (and IG) dream in its simplicity, airiness, cleanliness, and peace. They have a perfect mixture of independence and loving nurturing. And it feels safer than a lot of other schools bc of their security systems/fence. We&#39;ve had all 3 of our boys attend and couldn&#39;t be happier. I rave about this place to pretty much everyone I meet:). Let&#39;s face it -- it&#39;s not easy to find a place you can recommend this highly and all parents who need help with childcare realize that who you are entrusting your child&#39;s day/education/upbringing (they see them almost as often as us!) too is critically important. They&#39;re amazing and have all my gratitude bc I can go to work and know my children are in the best hands.

First off I want to say from the moment that I drove into the parking lot,  I was very impressed with the aesthetics of the school outside and when I went inside, it was the cleanest and most organized school I&#39;d ever been in. My daughter started in their preschool program over five years ago and we have had such Great relationships with her teachers as well as the owners, Leigh Ann and Paloma. My daughter Always felt welcomed and cared for and developed great friendships with the other children. I am so thankful for a school like this and highly recommend it to anyone contemplating where to send their children. Your children will be in a very safe, caring, loving environment where you will feel confident in knowing that your children will be well taken care of!
