Our mission is to prepare children for life.
We are dedicated to meeting the physical, emotional, social and intellectual needs of each child. Our thoughtfully prepared Montessori environments foster independence and responsibility, while providing experiences that promote curiosity and engagement.

Why do so many families choose Montessori?
Lessons are designed and given to each child when they are most ready to learn.
Social, emotional, and physical development is emphasized along with academic skills.
Current neurology and human development research consistently backs Montessori.
"The BEST authentic Montessori program in all of Santa Barbara, CA. For the past 6 years, watching my children fly and thrive at SCM has been nothing short of remarkable!"
