Montessori's teaching philosophy is that learning begins with the self and with understanding one's immediate environment in relation to the self. At the Montessori of Calabasas pre-school, learning is task-oriented, with open stations of self-correcting materials for various subjects in addition to traditional classroom instruction. The school places a priority on providing a nurturing environment where children feel safe to explore, and it starts admitting students from 6 weeks of age by placing them in an infant care program.
