School Mission Statement -
Like the first Casa de Bambini that Maria Montessori opened in 1907 in Rome, ours is a “house” for children not a classroom, but a “community”. It is a special learning environment designed for your child- to touch, experience, care for and learn from.

Newport Montessori has been serving the community for over 40 years. It serves toddler, primary and elementary children. Our school promotes the teachings of Dr. Maria Montessori, who believed that all deserve the opportunity to become the most complete "person" possible; continuing her work, we are dedicated to growing confidence, creativity and strength in each of the children entrusted to our care.

At Newport Montessori School, each child progresses at his or her own pace free to choose from and work with a world of vivid “sensorial” materials and tools of “discovery”. Our dedicated staff encourages independent thinking and individual learning. We work toward the enhancement of each child’s awareness of and participation in the “wholeness of life”.

(personal testimonial...I attended the first and second grades at this Montessori (1974-1976)along with my Sister, Cousin and one of my best friends ever. Those two short years in this wonderful, unique environment were formative in every since. I wish I had stayed longer rather than opting for public school after my family moved from Costa Mesa to Mission Viejo...even though we were willing to make the commute for some time, as my Father worked in Newport Beach. It's fascinating to read the
reviews of the school, as they seem consistent with the talk of the parents 30 years ago...we loved having those "dirty" stables next door...it played to our wilderness or frontier life imaginary play. 3 years later my Sister and I moved to Oakland and our Cousin to Seattle, but we share fond ("Our Gang") memories of those two magical years at this place. - J.
