School Notes
- Belleview Montessori School offers an authentic Montessori education for children ages 1 to 5, designed to foster independence, curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning. Rooted in the Montessori philosophy, our programs emphasize hands-on exploration, individualized instruction, and respect for each child's unique developmental journey. Our classrooms are carefully prepared environments equipped with purposeful Montessori materials that encourage children to explore math, language, science, practical life, and sensorial skills. Teachers serve as guides, nurturing social, emotional, physical, and intellectual growth while cultivating independence, concentration, and problem-solving abilities. We currently serve children in Toddler (12 years, walking), Preschool (23 years), and Pre-K/VPK (45 years) classrooms, providing age-appropriate learning experiences that build a strong foundation for future academic success. Each program also emphasizes community, kindness, and respect for others, preparing children not only for school but for life. Our school recently underwent extensive renovations to create a safe, accessible, and engaging learning environment. Improvements include handicap-accessible facilities, bright and inviting classrooms, new outdoor spaces, and updated security features. With these enhancements, Belleview Montessori School provides a warm and welcoming setting where children thrive. Families are welcomed as essential partners in their child's learning journey. Through regular communication, school events, and an open-door policy, we work closely with parents to ensure every child receives the support they need to succeed. Belleview Montessori School is proud to serve the Belleview and greater Marion County community, offering a unique and meaningful educational option that nurtures the whole child and lays the foundation for lifelong growth and success.
