The Peninsula Montessori Team

The faculty and staff at Peninsula Montessori School represent a collective 44 years of Montessori experience with the Palos Verdes and Redondo Beach campuses combined.

Our team of professionals works tirelessly to foster a learning environment that delivers a consistently exceptional experience for our students. Specially prepared environments and the role of the teacher in the classroom distinguish Montessori from other educational approaches.

In each classroom environment, where children are allowed freedom with materials suited to their needs, they blossom.

After a period of intense concentration, working with materials that fully engage their interest, children are refreshed and contented. Through continued concentrated work of their own choice, children grow in inner discipline and peace.

With this spirit in mind, our faculty takes great pride in shepherding each child's individulaized curriculm. Our well-trained faculty experience the fulfillment that comes from working for a better world through tomorrow's adults.
