Montecito School offers preschool, kindergarten, and drop-in care to children ages 2-10 years old. It is a warm, happy and nurturing place where they will discover the joy of learning.
Our developmental (active learning) curriculum emphasizes the following skills;
social skills and language development
gross and fine motor skills
sensory and cognitive development
listening and following directions
enhancing attention span
These skills help to foster positive self esteem, self discipline and social-emotional expression.
With the basic building blocks of learning appropriately developed, a child’s future academic achievement is assured.
In addition, we believe that the bond between humans, animals and nature starts in childhood. Montecito’s Grant Road campus, with its open spaces, native flora and gentle animals, provides an ideal setting for exploration by young children.
50 years helping children discover, learn and grow…come see what makes us unique.
