KIE international Montessori

KIE International Montessori is a bilingual Mandarin Montessori school in Laguna Niguel, California, serving children ages 2 to 6. Its mission is to support each child’s intellectual, emotional, and physical development through hands-on learning that encourages exploration, independence, and creative and critical thinking. The school’s credentialed, experienced Montessori teachers provide individualized lessons when children are ready to engage with new concepts, while guiding them toward foundational skills, social confidence, and self-reliance.

KIE offers Toddler programs for ages 2–3, Primary for ages 3–5, and Kindergarten for ages 5–6. Its approach emphasizes whole-child education, including social, emotional, and physical growth alongside academics. Children are encouraged to move freely and choose activities, learning through experience and mistakes in a prepared environment. The school also shares information about Montessori education and child development through its blog, covering topics such as teaching, multi-age classrooms, and developmental stages. Families can learn about admissions, tuition and assistance, and arrange a school tour. KIE invites prospective families to apply and join its school community.
