Little Scholars Academy of California opened its doors in Orange in 2016 with a simple conviction: that young children deserve a place that takes them seriously — calm, prepared, and genuinely warm — from their very first months of life.
A school for early childhood
We care for children from six weeks old through Kindergarten, which means families can put down roots here. A baby who joins our infant program can grow up through our toddler and primary classrooms with familiar faces and a consistent approach, rather than starting over somewhere new every year or two. Explore our infant, toddler, and primary programs to see how each stage builds on the last.
Authentic Montessori, everyday warmth
Everything we do rests on the Montessori method: prepared environments, hands-on materials, and teachers who follow each child. But method alone is not what families remember. What they remember is that their child was known — that someone noticed what made them light up and met them there.
A small, connected community
We have stayed intentionally close-knit. Teachers know families by name, parents stay in the loop through daily updates, and the pace of the school is unhurried on purpose. Our nut-free, low-sugar approach to snacks and our attention to health and safety are part of the same idea: a place where families can relax because the details are handled.
Right here in Orange County
We are proud to be part of the Orange community. Our sunny Southern California setting means plenty of time outdoors — in the garden, on the playground, and exploring the natural world that is such a rich part of a young child's education.
The best way to understand a school is to stand in it. Schedule a tour and come see what we have been building since 2016.
