Welcome to Children’s House - Celebrating over 30 years of Montessori!
The Children's House Montessori School is an independent non-profit school for children ages 18 months through fourth grade. We provide an exciting and nurturing environment with developmentally appropriate materials that provide experiences contributing to the growth of self-motivated, independent learners with a love for life. Our curriculum is based on the work of education pioneer Dr. Maria Montessori.
The Children's House strives to provide children with a foundation that encompasses intellectual, cultural, social, spiritual, aesthetic, and physical understanding that nurtures full selfhood and prepares them to be citizens of the world.
Beautiful, carefully prepared classroom environments invite children to explore. Education materials are self-correcting, allowing each child to develop the senses and make discoveries with the guidance of a skilled Montessori teacher.
Montessori education promotes the development of the whole child, facilitates the natural growth of self-discipline, and cultivates each child's inherent joy in learning.
Please contact us for information about our programs, admissions, tuition and schedules. We are now offering several new three morning/week options for children in the Primary (3-5 year olds) program in addition to our five-morning per week option. Please call or email the Children's House office, 236-2911 or
