Faith Based Montessori Education
An innovative and child-centered approach to education, Montessori is a student-led and guided approach to education. Our knowledgeable teachers assess and provide a nurturing environment. With daily work plans, your child will be empowered to choose what they want to work on, and nothing is imposed upon them.
