Kensington Montessori of Laguna Niguel Preschool is conveniently located by the intersection of Alicia and Niguel Road in Laguna Niguel, California. The classrooms are bright, spacious, and completely brand new. Our teachers are Montessori trained and we have all new Montessori materials. We have recently integrated Spanish to our curriculum. Each Friday all of our classrooms work on a STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) project that corresponds to our unit of study. Our children spend their outside time on a grassy playground which has trees, a garden, a playhouse, a play structure and plenty of ride-on toys.
