Private Montessori Program in Santa Ana

At Ohana Montessori, we believe early childhood is sacred. That’s why we've created a private

Montessori program in Santa Ana where children feel safe, seen, and inspired to grow.

Set to open in 2024, Ohana Montessori is your child's home away from home, a calm,

thoughtfully prepared space designed to nurture the whole child: socially, emotionally,

intellectually, and physically.

Our serene classrooms are designed to meet children where they are, encouraging

exploration, focus, and independence. We understand that the early years are the most

formative, and our Montessori curriculum is intentionally built to inspire curiosity, confidence,

and a lifelong love of learning.

Care That Feels Personal

At the heart of Ohana Montessori is a team of educators who are genuinely dedicated to the

well-being and growth of young children. Each member of our staff is trained in the Montessori

method and brings a nurturing, responsive approach to caregiving. With warmth, patience, and

presence, they build meaningful relationships that help every child feel safe, seen, and

supported. The experience of being cared for by someone who truly sees them is part of what

makes each day at Ohana feel so special.

Serving Families Across Orange County

Located in vibrant Santa Ana, we proudly welcome families from across Orange County,

including Irvine, Tustin, and Costa Mesa. At Ohana, community matters. We are a space

where culture, connection, and care come together to support every child's growth.

A Curriculum That Grows with Your Child

Our Montessori-certified educators bring both knowledge and heart to the classroom. With a

nurturing approach and a deep understanding of early childhood development, they guide

children through a curriculum that blends academic readiness with hands-on discovery.

Using sensory-rich materials and meaningful daily routines, we help children feel supported as

they grow building foundational skills while fostering creativity, responsibility, and a sense of

Belonging.

Foundations for Lifelong Growth

At Ohana Montessori, we believe the early years shape the way children see themselves and

the world around them. That is why our program emphasizes kindness, collaboration, and

self-awareness alongside academics.

We are doing more than just preparing students for kindergarten, we are supporting the

development of thoughtful, capable, and kind future leaders.

We look forward to welcoming you into the Ohana Montessori family and sharing in the joy of

your child's early learning journey. Come visit us to discover how our private preschool can be

the right fit for your child and the beginning of something truly meaningful.
