Northview Montessori School has provided a quality Montessori preschool program for the children of Boise, ID for more than 30 years.
Our goal has always been to provide the best possible learning environment for each child in our care.
By following the principles of Maria Montessori, renowned theorist and developer of curriculum and materials for early childhood education, we offer well-prepared classrooms and a wide variety of activities that stimulate a child's natural love of learning.
The child learns by doing, the hands leading the mind, using the carefully designed Montessori materials, which put abstract ideas into a concrete form that makes sense to the young child.
We respect each child as an individual with his/her own developmental timetable.
We allow children to experience their own stage of development and help them feel success without pressure. We provide an excellent foundation for lifetime education.
