The preschool years are the most critical in a child's development.
There is no better way to support a child's cognitive development than by attending a Montessori preschool.
There is no better place to see the Montessori method in action than the Mastro Montessori Preschool and Elementary School in Shrewsbury.
We are an AMI certified Montessori school that offers children from 15 months and up a unique learning environment based on the scientifically established Montessori method.
The Montessori method, uniformly recommended by early childhood educators and pediatric psychologists, emphasizes hands-on self-guided instruction with specially developed Montessori materials that encourage independent learning.
Each student explores the world at his or her pace.
At Mastro Montessori, children are free to be themselves and explore their passions in a warm, safe, nurturing environment.
Conveniently located off of Highway 35, our beautiful campus features an outdoor garden and play area.
Our preschool and elementary school offer math, reading, science, history, art, music, gardening, cooking, and other forms of exploration under the guidance of experienced, dedicated staff.
We are so proud of our school and would welcome the opportunity for you to see for yourself what we can offer your child.
