This is the second of two schools for sale by the owners.
Having envisioned improving Montessori education by addressing the significant lack of modern and authentic preschool options in the Greater Los Angeles area through acquisitions, the Sellers initially purchased four schools.
This school, now open for 32 years and acquired in 2022, was the first authentic Montessori in this part of Orange County. After the acquisitions, significant improvements were made. The school was modernized, operational systems improved, and facilities enhanced.
The Sellers brought it current with Montessori certification and ensured classes were led by certified Montessori teachers, a core philosophy.
Enrollment increased, and the Montessori institution is authentic and is now known for providing the highest quality Montessori pedagogy in the County.
Currently, 54 children, ages 2 through 7, are enrolled. More than 90% of students attend 5-day programs for toddlers (including potty training programs), preschool (those aged 2 to 5 years), and Kindergarten to First Grade (for those ages 5 to 7 years), along with enrichment programs. The
school is licensed for up to 72 children.
The operation employs 12 highly qualified staff. The longtime director oversees six lead teachers and three assistant teachers.
NDA is required to secure the comprehensive Confidential Information Memorandum (CIM) crafted by ProNova Partners.
