History
Ann Balasuriya founded the school in 1975 in response to a need in the Laguna Beach community for a Montessori preschool and kindergarten program. The school opened with three children in September 1975.By the end of January, the school had enrolled 24 children, and in September of 1976 opened a second class. Some 40 plus years later, The Montessori School of Laguna Beach is a leader in the community: offering an excellent, integrated and holistic program that has graduated hundreds of confident, compassionate and conscientious students to become contributing individuals in their community.
The success of the school is the result of the high quality program we offer and the team of dedicated staff we choose. We believe that children deserve the greatest respect, loving care, and professional guidance during their development.
This philosophy underlies everything we do at school.
