  • Praised by parents and educators, MCH has grown into a vibrant community of children educated in an authentic Montessori classoom. MCH respects children as different from adults and as individuals who learn at their own pace. We recognize the "preschool years" as critical years for learning and that children create themselves throguh pruposeful activity. MCH also believes that children flourish in a joyful atmosphere, which balances intellectual stimulation, creativity and love. We help children capture the joy of learning and become confident, competent learners for life.
  • We accept children 3 years through 5 years old (sometimes we can accept them a little younger than 3, depends on the child). Children do not need to be fully potty trained but at least working on using the toilet. We offer 3, 4 or 5 days a week program running from September through May. We are a peanut and tree nut free school.
