We know how children learn in a natural, joyful life-experiencing way.
The process of learning how to learn is as important as learning.
Our teachers surround children with learning opportunities in a caring, loving way that encourages each child's individual development.
Montessori Academy provides a supportive and challenging learning environment designed to offer each child the opportunity to achieve success.
We have classes from infancy through six years of age.
Montessori Academy offers a variety of morning and full day programs.
Children may attend full day or part time. We are open from 07:00 am until 5:30 pm.
Our campus includes four shady playgrounds and three spacious ""home-like"" buildings where the children play, learn and socialize in a caring, learning environment.
