Our Teachers

Hello! I am Fiorella Miletich, the founder of Discovery Montessori Wonderschool. I come from a family of educators and have always believed in the importance of early childhood education. I am a certified Montessori teacher who previously ran a loved program in West Hills. I have three wonderful sons who inspire me each day. To be closer to my extended family, I moved to Mission Viejo and chose a home that was gorgeous, safe and large enough for my family childcare. Along with teaching, I love to cook! I’m happy to continue my work helping children flourish and grow healthy in Orange County.

Philosophy

At Discovery Montessori Wonderschool, we are inspired by the work of Maria Montessori and her quote “what really makes a teacher is love for the human child.” As lifelong teachers, we have a passion for seeing your child flourish during the critical early years of development. We dedicate ourselves to creating a space your child will be happy in while learning. Our school is set up so that teachers can always meet your child’s needs. We even serve home-cooked Peruvian, Italian and American food that is made so deliciously your child will barely notice the hidden vegetables.

Location

Discovery Montessori Wonderschool is located in the beautiful, family oriented Mission Viejo neighborhood. Our inspiring, location offers the perfect balance between structured activities and open play.

Inside, the children work together with many high quality classroom materials and discover how to succeed in reaching cognitive milestones in literacy, math, science and social engagement. We keep our program neat and organized so the children can feel clear about how to learn new things each day.

Outside, they continue to grow in our imaginative play area and vast, open yard. There is a beautiful playhouse structure and a large, open grass field surrounded by trees. Children connect to the wonderful feeling of nature each day. Even on rainy days, we can go outside and stay dry under our covered outdoor patio which the children greatly enjoy.
