Choosing Montessori 
A Meaningful Start or a Long-Term Educational Journey

In a world where educational choices can feel overwhelming, the Montessori method stands out as a time-tested, child-centered approach that nurtures not only academic growth but also emotional and social development. Whether you're just beginning your parenting journey and researching Montessori for your child’s pre-elementary education, contemplating a Montessori education for your child through elementary and beyond, or considering a shift in your child’s educational path, The Little Montessori School offers a holistic foundation rooted in traditional Montessori methods that can benefit your entire family.

​

A Child-Centered Philosophy That Respects Individual Growth

​

Montessori education is rooted in the belief that children are naturally curious and capable learners. Instead of a one-size-fits-all curriculum, Montessori classrooms are designed to adapt to each child’s pace, interests, and developmental stage. This personalized approach fosters a love of learning that lasts a lifetime.

​

A Strong Foundation in the Early Years

​

The early years—birth to age six—are a critical period for brain development. Montessori environments are thoughtfully prepared to support this sensitive phase with hands-on materials that build foundational skills in math, language, science, and practical life. Children develop concentration, coordination, and problem-solving skills early on, setting the stage for academic success and emotional resilience. A parent of a current fourth grader who transferred to our community from a different school setting, 

“We've noticed a dramatic improvement in our son since enrolling at The Little Montessori.

We've watched him grow from a struggling reader to reading independently, and for fun.

The small class size allows kids room to grow and for teachers to give each 

one the attention they need.” – Mrs. Shannon F.

Independence and Responsibility from the Start

​

Montessori classrooms encourage children to make choices, care for their environment, and take ownership of their learning. These experiences build executive functioning skills that are essential for success in school and life. At The Little Montessori School our parents often excitedly talk about their children bringing that independence home—helping with chores, managing routines, and solving problems more calmly. 

A Peaceful, Respectful Learning Environment

​

Montessori emphasizes grace, courtesy, and respect for others. Mixed-age classrooms foster mentorship and collaboration, while conflict resolution is taught through modeling and guided practice. Parents in our program often report that their children become more empathetic, patient, and socially aware—qualities that enrich family dynamics and friendships.

​

Lifelong Love of Learning

​

Because Montessori education is driven by intrinsic motivation rather than external rewards, children learn to pursue knowledge for its own sake. This cultivates curiosity, creativity, and a growth mindset. We have had many parents choose our program for early childhood pre-school years prior to choosing a more traditional education for their child. These parents report their child transitioning smoothly into other educational settings, equipped with the

confidence and adaptability to thrive:

​

“LMS gave us a no pressure approach to our children’s learning, allowing for them to blossom

in their own. We transitioned to public school for first grade, and our children were very

well prepared. I’m so happy I chose Montessori education at LMS for our family. They

have an excellent classic early childhood curriculum, but also embrace teaching emotional

intelligence and immersive world cultural experiences. The parent group becomes

very close over the years, which brings other innovative options for learning in the

mix as well. I highly recommend The Little Montessori school for

anyone considering a small group educational setting that allows

for child guided interest in learning.” – Dr. Anu R.
