About

Bonita Montessori School in Bonita delivers a bilingual Montessori program for children 18 months through five years at 4980 Bonita Road, along the Sweetwater Road corridor in the 91902 zip code. The classroom applies Maria Montessori's self-construction principles—emphasizing will development, self-control, concentration, and intellect—through mixed-age groupings that share the developmental-readiness philosophy underlying pediatric oral-health assessments at Bonita Point Dental Arts, Family Dentistry. Before-school care, a core preschool day, and an after-school program provide full-day coverage, accommodating the schedules of working families in the Bonita and greater Chula Vista area. Children rotate through practical-life, sensorial, language, and mathematics stations stocked with Montessori-certified wooden manipulatives, sandpaper letters, and bead chains designed for self-correcting, independent work. The school's emphasis on physical self-regulation and body awareness dovetails with the structured martial-arts discipline taught at nearby Bonita Martial Arts Academy & Fitness Federation on the same Bonita Road stretch. Kindergarten-readiness benchmarks include mastery of the decimal system through golden-bead materials, phonemic decoding of three-letter CVC words in both English and Spanish, and completion of the practical-life sequence from pouring exercises through button-frame dressing skills.
