    About Us

    Nurturing young learners with care and creativity

    We’re a small Montessori program in Claremont, and that size is the point. Teachers notice when a child is ready for the next challenge and when they need a little more time. Your child learns to read, count, pour, button a coat, and clean up after themselves, all at a pace that fits them.

    Mixed Age Classrooms

    Younger children learn by watching older ones, and older children grow by helping. The room works a bit like a small family.

    Play-Based Learning Method

    Play and learning aren’t separate here. The materials are designed so that the thing a child finds fun is also the thing teaching them to count, read, or solve a problem.

    "We chose Montessori because we wanted our daughter to learn at her own pace and develop a true love for discovery. It's been the best decision."

    — Sarah M., Parent

    Find Quick Answers to Common Questions

    341 W San Jose Ave, Claremont, CA 91711
    What age group do you accept for admission?

    We welcome children ages 3 to 7 years old. If your child is close to the edge of that range, call us and we’ll talk through whether the timing works.

    Is the school environment safe for children?

    Yes. The building stays secure during the day, the play areas are fenced and checked, and staff are trained in first aid and CPR. You’re always welcome to visit and see the space for yourself.

    How do you communicate important updates to parents regularly?

    You’ll hear from us through daily notes and photos, plus a quick message whenever something comes up. We’d rather over-communicate than leave you wondering how the day went.

    What documents are required for admission?

    Yes, absolutely. Your child's safety is our highest priority, and we have created a secure, nurturing environment where they can learn and play with complete confidence.

    How do you ensure children feel safe and comfortable daily?

    Comfort comes from routine and from a teacher who knows your child. The day follows a predictable rhythm, and the same caring faces greet your child each morning. If a child needs a minute, there’s always a quiet corner to take it.

    How do teachers support each child's individual learning needs?

    Teachers watch how each child works and adjust from there. A child who’s racing ahead in reading gets harder material; a child who needs more time with numbers gets it, without being made to feel behind.

    "Very happy on our experience with IMS. Our little one was born during the pandemic and socialization was the top of our list. IMS overdelivered with education and teaching the fundamentals of just being a good person. The staff was great, caring and very accommodating. I would gladly recommend this school to whoever asks."
