About Our Montessori Enrichment Programs
At our Rancho Mission Viejo campus, enrichment is a warm and natural continuation of the school day. During class time, children already engage in art, movement, cultural studies, and hands-on learning as part of our Montessori curriculum. Our enrichment activities allow children to dive deep into a particular theme, skill, or creative focus during after-school sessions that feel purposeful and joyful. By integrating enrichment programs into our school community, we provide students with additional learning opportunities that complement the standard curriculum. These enrichment classes encourage children to explore, take risks, and grow within a supportive environment where self-esteem and creativity are nurtured.
Our Montessori Enrichment After-School Activities
Soccer Shots
Soccer Shots provides children with opportunities to build coordination, teamwork, and confidence through movement and physical education. These fun activities strengthen essential skills such as communication, discipline, and perseverance. As children practice and improve, they develop self-esteem and a healthy sense of accomplishment that supports their well-being both in and out of the classroom.
Dance
Our dance enrichment program encourages creativity and self-expression through rhythm, performing arts, and movement. Preschoolers build balance, coordination, and social skills while learning routines in a structured yet joyful environment. Dance helps children develop confidence as they explore music and movement with peers.
Klay Kids
Klay Kids invites children to explore the visual arts through clay and creative design projects. These hands-on enrichment activities promote skill-building in fine motor, problem-solving, and imagination. As children shape and build, they engage in meaningful exploration that supports both cognitive growth and artistic expression.
Why Families Enjoy Our Montessori Enrichment Programs
Families value our enrichment program because it feels like a natural extension of Montessori learning rather than a separate offering. We offer enrichment programs to provide additional opportunities for our students to grow while maintaining the heart of our Montessori philosophy.

There are not enough words to show the gratitude I have for this school. My older son started attending Montessori Academy on the Ranch in August 2019 and he is excelling in elementary school. I have to give a huge thanks to the teachers for tailoring his work period to him and meeting him where he was developmentally. My younger son also started here in April 2022 and still attends. He has grown so much. When he first started he could barely walk and talk at 18 months. Within a few months his vocabulary expanded along with his motor skills. His teachers truly focused on his specific development needs as well. Both my kids learned how to be confident, independent and complete basic tasks, such as clean up after themselves, get dressed, ask for things in a polite manner, etc. The school also does a wonderful job of potty training our kids! I didn’t have to do anything! Both my boys absolutely adore the teachers and the staff is wonderful and gets to know you on a personal level. We love the school so much we decided to stay here even though T-K was an option for both kids! Thank you to Tamara, Michelle, Tia, and the rest of the staff for the impact you made on my kids! We are so grateful!

I love the staff there! My son's teacher Ms. Marisol. She made what would have been the toughest transition, for a 20-month old kid who never spoke any English from home, to Montessori Toddler program, to a very smooth one within 2 months. We already noticed so much development from our son after 3.5 months. The office staff Ms. Tamara and Ms. Tia just made every day a very pleasant start and finish for our family. The activities at the Montessori and the monthly events keep our kids highly engaged and learning of new cultures and festive! We just love everything Montessori at the Ranch has to offer!!! We just love it so much and cannot wait to send our younger daughter there once she is 18-month old!!!

Love the education and how friendly everyone is. I have one child who attends and one isn’t quite old enough for us to send him but he loves to go to pick up and drop off and I know he will be really excited when it’s his turn also!
