Nestled beneath the Verdugo Mountains, Whiting Woods Montessori is a thoughtfully designed, home-based early childhood program serving children ages 18 Months to 6 Years Old.
Our school is intentionally small, nurturing, and deeply personal—created to feel like a peaceful extension of home, where each child is known, respected, and supported as an individual.
Rooted in the philosophy of Dr. Maria Montessori, our approach blends hands-on, child-led learning with a carefully prepared environment that encourages independence, curiosity, and confidence. Each day, children are invited to explore, create, and discover at their own pace through meaningful work and play.
At Whiting Woods Montessori, we believe early childhood should feel calm, connected, and joyful—for both children and their families. Our all-inclusive model allows us to focus fully on what matters most: supporting the whole child in a space that feels safe, enriching, and complete.
To create a nurturing, inclusive, and thoughtfully prepared environment where children feel safe, respected, and empowered to grow into confident, capable, and compassionate individuals.
We envision a learning environment where each child is guided toward independence and self-confidence through meaningful, hands-on experiences. By honoring each child’s unique development, we support the growth of creativity, problem-solving, social connection, and a lifelong love of learning.
