Exploring our preschool

I absolutely love capturing the learning moments where children say "wow" and " I did it!" its such a beautiful moment and a huge milestone, and they get to really dive into learning. As a teacher, those moments mean everything. I captured some adorable little explorers during work session, music class, circle time, and outside playtime!

Little Explorers Montessori Preschool

Welcome to Little Explorers Montessori Preschool!

Hi, I’m Jocelyn Gonzales, a dedicated mother and passionate educator with over 10 years of experience working with children. As the owner of Little Explorers Montessori in West Covina, I am proud to provide a nurturing, home-based preschool setting where children ages 2 to 5 years old can grow, explore, and learn through the Montessori method.

With a teaching certification from Long Beach City College, along with CPR, First Aid, and state licensing, I am committed to creating a safe and enriching environment for your child. My journey in education began in 2009, and through my experience in both public schools and Montessori classrooms, I discovered a deep passion for helping children develop independence, curiosity, and a love for learning.

At Little Explorers Montessori, we focus on hands-on learning with mixed-age groups, where the younger children benefit from observing and learning from older students. In addition to academic subjects like reading, writing, and vocabulary, we offer unique cultural experiences, including Spanish language lessons and anatomy. I also incorporate yoga and music to make learning fun and well-rounded.

Maria Montessori once said, “The hands are the instruments of intelligence,” and here at Little Explorers, we believe in the power of exploration and active learning to shape young minds. Join our little preschool in a love for learning that will last a lifetime!
