Ivycrest Montessori Private School - Yorba Linda

Ivycrest Montessori Private School in Yorba Linda is an all-girls Montessori kindergarten program founded in 1970 and accredited by the American Montessori Society. The school supports learning differences through specialized Montessori instruction, which emphasizes self-directed learning, hands-on activities, and individualized pacing—an approach that can be particularly beneficial for students with diverse learning styles and developmental needs.

With a 12:1 student-teacher ratio and small class sizes averaging 12 students, Ivycrest provides the low teacher-student ratio and structured, predictable environment that many children with special needs thrive in. The Montessori method's focus on practical life skills, sensory integration, and multi-sensory learning supports students with learning differences, attention challenges, and developmental delays. The school also offers summer school programming for extended learning support.

Rolling admissions are available, and the school welcomes families to contact the admissions team (Ms. Jennifer Arias or Ms. Gina Maturan) for a tour and to discuss tuition rates and how the program can meet your child's individual learning profile. Financial aid is available to 10% of families. Ivycrest is located at 6555 Fairmont Blvd, Yorba Linda, CA 92886, and can be reached at (714) 777-2511 or through their website at ivycrest.org.
