Our goal is to provide a high quality Montessori education and to help your child develop the essential knowledge, practical life skills, and strength of character during one of the most formative chapters of life. We nurture curious minds to flourish into respectful, empathetic, and leading role models.
Our Philosophy
Montessori Method
The Montessori philosophy embraces the understanding of a child’s “absorbent mind” where from birth through early childhood, our children experience a period of intense mental activity that allows them to absorb learning from their environment without conscious effort, naturally and spontaneously.
Our students are given uninterrupted time to deeply explore and challenge themselves at their individual paces. The Montessori Method observes that children can and will develop inner discipline, self-assurance, and preference for purposeful activity.
The Classroom
Safe, inviting, and purposefully arranged for your child to explore curiosities and independence. Our classrooms are prepared with a full set of scientifically designed Montessori learning materials. These materials cover practical living/independence skills, sensorial exploration, language, and math. You will notice that the overall sounds in the classroom are of the children; adult voices do not predominate.
Hot lunches served daily. Click here to view a sample menu.
Multi-age classrooms
Multi-age classrooms allow for mentorship and mentoring between children. Older children can teach and motivate their younger peers. In doing so, older children gain confidence, leadership skills, & re-solidify their learning. The consistent community allows the child to build trust, which allows them to master their physical environment while building self-esteem.

What People Are Saying
“This school opened 2 days prior to my writing of this review and our experience so far has been nothing short of amazing. They are now making in-person tours of the school at times when children are not present, which is great. The school is big, clean and everything is new. The only thing missing is more kids coming to join in the Montessori fun :)”

“My daughter just started here part time and she is already having a blast! She is almost 2 1/2 and was needing an outlet for socialization and also some fun learning time. So far she's loving it and enjoying the kids she gets to spend time with. The owner, director and teacher I've met are all wonderful and very nice.”
