Our Irvine Preschool’s Unique Environment

SOLUTIONS TAILORED TO YOUR CHILDREN

Liquid networking, spaces designed with child-led education as the inspiration, an abundance of gorgeous Montessori Materials, loose-parts for natural play and exploration, instruments, art materials, and more.

We believe that carefully designed spaces that allow for liquid networking where ideas are developed, exchanged, and collided freely through project-based learning, set the stage for future world-class creators and innovators.

We believe that children learn best when they are supported by a clean, inviting environment full of natural light and bright, beautiful colors!

Our environment is designed to foster independence, creativity, and joy.

At Pomegranate Cre8ive Labs Preschool our environment is designed to support our combination of both Montessori and Reggio philosophies. Our indoor space includes a large room lined with shelves that are filled with Montessori jobs for the 3-5 year age group. Amongst these materials are language and math materials, sensorial materials, and practical life materials. The children work in this space for a focused 2-3 hours in the morning while teachers assist and observe. Our art studio can be used to support both philosophies. Some projects in the art room are guided by teachers and based on our high-level themes as part of our Montessori Curriculum. Some projects are created by the children, and the teacher is there to observe, research, and deepen their learning using the activity and mediums of their choice! Our outdoor play area is used for Reggio Emilia learning. It is filled with baskets of loose parts, areas for dramatic play, and even a space to climb! Teachers use the children’s’ inspirations outside for projects like outdoor resource art projects and movement. See the list below to learn more about our Outdoor and indoor learning spaces.
