We bring together a Montessori school with the comfort and security of home. Our experience has shown that children excel
in all areas of development when their environment is more like home. Your child will be instantly engaged in his
surroundings because it has small furniture built for children, hardwood floors, beaded board walls, and most importantly,
lots of friends.
It also has the feel of a fun school with an array of learning resources, huge indoor playroom and a two-story interior spiral
slide. But most important is the loving and nurturing guidance of our teachers who model all lessons. Academically, our
children enter kindergarten with reading, math and social skills far beyond other students. Call and schedule a tour.
