Keystone Montessori Academy Whittier is enrolling kids from all around Whittier, CA. Admissions are guided by the Montessori philosophy of respecting each child’s growth stage. Our carefully prepared environment fulfills developmental needs, offering children meaningful opportunities to learn, explore, and grow at their own pace.
Instead of traditional grade levels, our programs are organized according to what Dr. Maria Montessori described as “Planes of Development.” Each plane reflects a unique stage of learning, ensuring children receive the right support and challenges at the right time.
Dr. Montessori identified this period as the stage of the Absorbent Mind—when children effortlessly take in knowledge from their surroundings.
Ages 0–3: Unconscious Absorbent Mind – rapid development of motor, language, and sensory foundations.
Ages 3–6: Conscious Absorbent Mind – growth in independence, reasoning, problem-solving, and social interaction.
During this time, purposeful and hands-on learning is essential. Children work individually and in groups, discovering through experience, exploration, and guided activities.
We offer flexible schedules to accommodate the needs of families, while ensuring children receive the benefits of Montessori education.
Enrollment at Keystone Montessori Academy is available year-round, depending on space. Families are encouraged to schedule a tour, see our classrooms, and meet with our staff to see firsthand how the Montessori method fosters independence, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning.
