Montessori Lake Forest Preschool

We are so grateful we found Lake Forest Preschool. Their Montessori curriculum stimulates learning in mindfully creative ways and my two toddlers have grown so much already. The teachers are unbelievably thoughtful and thorough, always updating us on how our students are doing and taking extra good care, especially when it's a little's first time away from home. We even get photo and video updates throughout the day which is a nice treat, especially for busy working parents. Thank you Lake Forest Preschool! We love you guys!

Our family has had the privilege of being part of the preschool. From the moment we enrolled our child, we were impressed by the school's commitment to fostering a nurturing and stimulating environment. The teachers are not only highly skilled but also genuinely care about each child's development. They provide personalized attention, ensuring that our child felt supported and encouraged every step of the way. The curriculum is thoughtfully designed to promote independence, confidence, and a love for learning. Our child has blossomed academically and socially, thanks to the hands-on activities and the emphasis on practical life skills. The mixed-age classrooms have also been beneficial, allowing our child to learn from peers and develop leadership skills. Communication with the staff has been excellent. We receive daily updates through the school's app, keeping us informed about our child's progress and activities. The flexible scheduling options have also been a great convenience for our family. We are incredibly grateful for the positive impact Montessori Preschool Irvine & Lake Forest has had on our child's growth and development. It's more than just a school; it's a community that truly cares about its students.

When Lucion first joined the preschool, he was very energetic and often ran around, full of excitement. Over time, in the calm and structured school environment, we saw a beautiful transformation. He gradually developed essential practical life skills—he learned how to hold a pencil properly, recognize shapes and colors, and even spell and write his name with confidence. More importantly, Lucion made wonderful progress socially. He learned how to wait his turn, follow routines, and interact kindly with friends. The Montessori approach helped him gain independence, responsibility, and respect for others. I am so grateful for how the teachers supported his journey—from a busy little boy to a focused, capable, and caring young learner.

We’ve had a great time at Lake Forest Montessori the last two years. My son has made friends and learned a lot, plus having exposure to the school environment to prep for kindergarten. Feels like a secure environment and the teachers are very compassionate.

This is a wonderful preschool with a strong program. The staff clearly understands early childhood development, and it shows in how they care for and teach the kids. The facility is clean, well organized, and filled with fun age-appropriate toys and learning materials. The kids seem happy and engaged, and the teachers create a warm welcoming environment. You can tell a lot of thought and heart goes into everything they do here.
