Growing Minds Montessori School in Bonita operates under California Community Care License #376701081 on Bonita Road, serving pre-kindergarten through first grade with the Montessori Method since 2014. The bilingual program supplements core Montessori materials with music-and-movement classes, piano instruction, and gross motor development — a physical literacy approach that complements the structured kids' martial arts curriculum at Bonita Martial Arts Academy & Fitness Federation on nearby Sweetwater Road. With a 9-to-1 student-teacher ratio across 72 enrolled students and a licensed capacity of 92, the school maintains individualized learning plans that accommodate children with special needs alongside neurotypical peers. Military families receive subsidy acceptance, and the extended care program covers before- and after-school hours for dual-income households in the 91902 corridor. The Bonita Road location sits within a half-mile of La Petite Academy of Bonita, giving families in the Sweetwater Road corridor multiple early-education options with distinct pedagogical approaches. Classroom environments feature Montessori-standard practical life stations, sensorial materials, and golden bead decimal systems that introduce base-ten numeracy concepts to children as young as two and a half.
