Temecula Montessori Academy at 27635 Jefferson Ave in Temecula serves infants through school-age children (6 weeks through age 12) using the Montessori Method, with a 30+ year track record in the community since 1993. The center holds a CCLD infant license (336300727) and operates extended hours (7 am–6 pm weekdays) with a 30-child capacity in its infant program. Parent feedback across 21 Google and 46 Yelp reviews is strongly positive, with children reported ahead of public school peers in reading and phonics; reviewers consistently praise the individualized, developmentally attuned approach that encourages independence and curiosity. One Type B citation from August 2024 and occasional parent notes about inconsistent support for children outside typical developmental trajectories warrant review of current CCLD inspection records prior to enrollment.
