Full Ranking Detail
childcarepreschooltoddlermontessoriartsbilingual
Mulholland Montessori Preschool is a California-licensed Montessori center in Woodland Hills serving toddlers and preschoolers through kindergarten transitioning age. An American Montessori Society member with dual NAEYC and CAEYC affiliation, it combines traditional Montessori pedagogy with a notably rich enrichment curriculum including art, dance, Spanish, music, piano, and gardening integrated into daily instruction. Bilingual Spanish exposure—uncommon in the 91364 area—offers documented cognitive benefits within the Montessori framework. The center maintains clean compliance with a June 2023 initial license and April 2025 CCLD inspection showing no citations. Capacity is 40 in a climate-controlled facility with Monday–Friday hours and Summer Camp. Families with infants will need interim care, and because the center is relatively new, prospective families should ask directly about lead teachers' Montessori credentials and staff tenure.
