Staff: Monica Heredia, Program Director of Westcliff Early Learning Academy

Welcome

Warm greetings from Westcliff Early Learning Academy. We are a new Montessori and Reggio preschool nestled in the heart of Irvine!

Have you ever wondered how your child learns best?

At Westcliff Early Learning Academy, we understand that every child’s approach to learning is different. That’s why we’ve woven together the very best of the Montessori and Reggio Emilia Curricula so that your child’s unique learning style will not only be respected, but cultivated, celebrated, and affirmed.

Picture a place where each day is an adventure, where your child’s natural curiosity is sparked and refined, and their individuality respected.

As proud partners of Westcliff University, a revered institution with three decades of academic excellence, our teachers bring a professional understanding of child development and learning dynamics into their preschool classrooms–ensuring that your child receives a comprehensive, holistic, and elevated education during their formative years.

We understand that choosing the right preschool is a profound decision, one filled with questions, concerns, and personal aspirations. So we extend our heartfelt invitation to you to visit our campus and let us introduce you to home-like learning spaces and discuss with you our distinctive blended pedagogy.

With anticipation and warmth,
Monica Heredia
