It is staffed with AMI and AMS accredited teachers.
The school is on 16 acres of land southwest of the city in a rural residential area.

School Reviews

My child started here when barely 3 years old yet, after having gone to another Montessori school in the area since the age of 18 months. The outdoor element alone was enough to sell me, but once we finished our first week at Cedars, it already felt like home. I can't imagine my child anywhere else, and I wish somehow they could expand to high school! The staff and teachers are wonderful--everyone truly cares about the children and any extra or additional support needed is consistently discussed and offered. I couldn't recommend this school more if you want your child to be immersed in a gentle, natural environment that supports all of their emotional and academic growth.
