Welcome to Oak Knoll Kinderhaus Montessori School

Oak Knoll Kinderhaus Montessori School is an authentic Montessori school, following Maria Montessori’s vision of creating an educational framework that allows the child to develop through purposeful activity in a prepared environment.  Our school provides a high quality Montessori education to children 18 months through 12 years of age.  We believe that parent (and extended family) participation is essential to creating a cohesive school community that nurtures each child’s full potential.

We have two campuses, the main campus for toddler and pre-school students on Lake Avenue near Washington Boulevard and a campus for elementary students on Cornishon Avenue in La Cañada .

Our facilities are situated to allow children to work inside their classrooms, or to carry their work outside into our garden courtyard. The courtyard is not just a play area, it is an extension of the classroom which includes sand and water activities, gardening, and nature observation. Children may plant and harvest flowers and vegetables, feed the birds and squirrels, and bring classroom equipment outside.

Our classrooms are filled with beautiful flower arrangements put together by the children. The beauty and peacefulness of the school environment contributes to the calmness necessary to master activities as simple as pouring water to as complex as mastering mathematics.

Children entering non-Montessori schools after attending a true Montessori primary program are often ahead of their peers academically, but more importantly, they leave with a love of learning and a sense of joy about their ability to use their mind to solve problems. They leave well-equipped to confidently master whatever style of learning they encounter next.
