School Overview
Overview
Fallbrook Montessori school is a thoroughly positive environment for children.
Here children work at their own pace and at their own level.
Habits and skills developed in a Montessori classroom remain for a lifetime.
Each child is taught individually, with the unique opportunity to fulfill his/her own potential.
Montessori classrooms are a land of joyful learning for the child, and they are a marvelous place for children to grow.
Teachers guide a child's development by directing choices and encouraging the development of individual interests.
Montessori materials have an inherent control of error. The child can observe and correct errors by him/herself, thus contributing to the construction of his/her own knowledge.
Founded in 1984, Zion Christian Preschool and Learning Center is a private, Christian school located in the beautiful town of Fallbrook, California.
Zion offers strong academics in a positive supportive learning environment.
Our students develop good communication, problem solving, critical thinking, and collaborative skills enabling them to lead their generation into the future.
Our small class sizes allow for individualized attention and allow our teachers to develop a full understanding of each child and what interests and motivates them.
Along with our Learning coaches guiding students through their personlized curriculm, we offer several enrichment classes such as music, art, technology, physical education, foreign language, and library.
We are a fully accredited school through both WASC (Western Association of Schools and Colleges) and NLSA (National Lutheran Schools Association). We encourage you to come visit our campus and really get to the "heart" of our school and become part of our growing family.
