Montessori Schools of Irvine help the whole child develop through the Montessori method of respect, community, personalized education, consistency, and independence. Our goal is to help each child love learning in a home away from home. Teachers work as a stable team with the same group of children to provide an opportunity to really know and nurture each individual child as they grow. We are currently hiring early childhood educators who appreciate and respect the unique qualities of each child to teach our EARLY CHILDHOOD (3 to 5 years old) or INFANT-TODDLER (babies, or 1 year old through 2 years old) children.
