Montessori American school is a preschool and kindergarten serving children ages 2 through 6.
Since 1988, parents from Chula Vista, San Diego, Bonita, Eastlake, and National City have made the wise decision of enrolling their children at Montessori American School because of their excellent track record for empowering young minds to become independent, well educated thinkers who have skills in math, reading, practical life, and music. Enrichment programs offered at MAS include music, art, spanish as a second language, art history, and children's yoga.

Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
Since 1988.
What is your primary product or service?
Early childhood education based on the principles set forth by Dr. Maria Montessori.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
This is actually my second school. Before opening the doors of Montessori American in '88, I owned another school beginning in 1977. I have two Montessori diplomas as well as a degree in child psychology. I don't have a class myself, because I like to supervise the classes once a month to be able to chat with the teachers, and give them my input.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
First, you should know that while many have opened up lately, none have the experience of my school. So the most important thing that we offer is dedication and academic excellence since 1988. Not only has my school been open since then, but many of my staff members and teachers have been with Montessori American School for more than 15 years!
