Happy and Prosperous New Year to every family of Pacific Coast Montessori Academy!



We welcomed 2026 with exciting learning and discovery. Our little geniuses and enthusiastic learners; from Toddlers to Kindergarten, returned from winter break filled with happy energy and curiosity. Their bright smiles and joyful holiday stories shared in the classroom reflected the strong partnership between our wonderful parents and our school. This collaboration continues to strengthen the foundation of our learning community.

January was also a month of growth as we welcomed three new families into our ever-growing community. We are truly grateful for their trust and confidence in allowing us to be part of their children’s learning journey. With this, we began the year with fun, meaningful, and engaging activities designed to support every child’s development.

Our learning explorations focused on the five areas of Montessori education: Practical Life, Sensorial, Language Arts, Mathematics, and Cultural Studies; each providing rich, real-life learning experiences. This month, children observed the miracle of life firsthand as they watched butterfly eggs transform through the life cycle of a butterfly. They also “traveled” across Europe, discovering its flowers, animal life cycles, and states of matter. For early reading and literacy, the children enjoyed The Mitten and expressed their creativity through related art projects.

January would not be complete without honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. as we commemorated his profound contributions to our nation. Our children’s learning was further enriched by a special visit from Coconut Dentistry, where they learned how to care for their bright smiles and the importance of good oral hygiene.

As we move into February, we look forward to a month filled with even more joyful learning and exciting discoveries. Thank you for your continued support and for being an essential part of our Pacific Coast Montessori Academy family and learning community.
