Montessori Child Development Center

Montessori Child Development Center (MCDC) is a unique educational institution that offers a child-centered approach to learning, following the philosophy of Dr. Maria Montessori. The school's mission is to provide a prepared environment that fosters independence, self-direction, and self-discipline, allowing children to learn and grow at their own pace. The educational approach and methodology at MCDC are designed to promote hands-on learning, exploration, and discovery, with highly qualified Montessori teachers observing and guiding children as they build their emotional, social, cognitive, and creative abilities. The school's key programs and features include a 5-day program, playdates, and a Montessori classroom that incorporates the outdoors, with a natural playground and a farm-like setting. MCDC remains intentionally small to maintain a close relationship with each child and their family, and the staff is committed to giving every child an opportunity to discover and develop to their potential. The school serves preschool and kindergarten children in the San Diego communities, including Poway, Scripps Ranch, Ramona, and others.
