Welcome to MCDC of Poway, Ca! Serving all of North San Diego County.

30 Years of Traditional Montessori
We at Montessori Child Development Center of Poway believe as Dr. Maria Montessori did that, given the right environment, children could learn anything. That's why it is so important that a Montessori school provide all of the proven tools and methods developed by Montessori and perfected for the modern world as we do at MCDC.
We present children with a complete environment true to the Montessori Method, not just a few tools here and there. These learning materials are in constant use by the children. Our classrooms are designed to promote self-direction and self-discipline, to allow children to create extensive knowledge of their world through exploration and observation, following their own interests at their own pace. Highly qualified teachers observe, and offer guidance and support while children build their cognitive and creative abilities. The results are children who are engaged and interested in learning, and eager to advance.
Looking for a child day care center in San Diego? Why not consider giving your child a Montessori experience. MCDC also serves the San Diego communities of Ramona, Scripps Ranch, Rancho Bernardo, Rancho Penasquitos, 4 S Ranch, and Saber Springs.

I believe young children thrive in an educational environment where they are treated like the unique individuals they are and are guided by teachers who love children and understand their needs.

At MCDC, children experience a deep sense of security and are motivated to learn by the warm, home-like setting that we have created for them. Situated in a large house re-designed for school use, surrounded by trees, vegetable and flower gardens, selected farm animals, and a big, grassy play area, learning at MCDC extends beyond the classroom to the gifts of the natural world.

I opened the school in 1978 to provide parents in our community with a quality educational alternative for their children. We have remained intentionally small so that we can maintain a close relationship with the children and their families. As ever, the staff and I are committed to giving every child an opportunity to discover and develop to their potential.

Thank you for your interest in MCDC; I hope that you and your child can visit our school in the near future. Please wander through this web site and then come by and see for yourself how children here learn to become happy, healthy, and capable individuals.
Sincerely,Marijane Schafer
