Creative Minds Children’s House
Montessori and Reggio Collaborative Program
Top Montessori Reggio early education Center in Mission Viejo
Serving Mission Viejo, Laguna Niguel, Lake Forest, Rancho Santa Margarita, and Greater Orange County
Children thrive when they explore and learn at their own pace. At Creative Minds Children’s house Mission Viejo, we help them build confidence, independence, and a love of learning.
Our facility, staff, and programs are all designed to inspire curiosity, discovery, and meaningful interaction. Every child is capable and deserving of respect, and our teachers guide them socially, emotionally, and academically.
We nurture young minds to prepare children not just for school but for life.
Where Children Become Their Best Selves
Creative Minds Children’s House was founded in 2019 by Inoka Jayasinghe, a dedicated Montessori educator with over 25 years of experience in early childhood education. Her philosophy blends the Montessori emphasis on independence, hands-on discovery, and self-directed learning with the multidimensional and creative principles of the Reggio Emilia approach.
Together, these philosophies shape our core belief: children learn best when they are given time, thoughtful guidance, and a carefully prepared environment that nurtures curiosity and confidence. Through hands-on materials and self-correcting lessons, children develop independence, critical thinking skills, and a lifelong love of learning.
Our program also intentionally nurtures each child’s “inner child” through enriching experiences that inspire creativity and joy. Baking activities encourage practical life skills and teamwork. Mixed media art allows children to express themselves freely and explore their imagination. Yoga and meditation are beautiful additions to our program structure, supporting mindfulness, emotional regulation, and overall well-being.
At Creative Minds Children’s House, we are committed to educating the whole child academically, socially, emotionally, and creatively in a warm and inspiring environment.

Terrific school with highly attentive and very pleasant staff. Program limited to fewer than 15 kids which allows a lot of personal attention for each child. My child has been attending for year and a half, and the life skills/creativity she’s learned has been amazing!
