Cresco Montessori School is a full-service private school, learning center, and daycare serving children from 6 weeks to 6 years old. Notably, Cresco Montessori is one of the few schools in the state to offer the free Georgia Pre-K program, making high-quality early education accessible to more families. The name "Cresco" is derived from the Latin word meaning "to grow, increase, or expand," a fitting reflection of our mission to foster the holistic growth and development of each child. Guided by the Montessori philosophy, we nurture independence, responsibility, self-confidence, inner discipline, cooperation, and—most importantly—a lifelong love of learning. At Cresco Montessori, children experience the joy of learning through freedom of choice, supported by trained Montessori educators who serve as their guides. Each child is encouraged to refine their natural learning abilities, ensuring they are well-prepared for future academic and life experiences. Our classrooms offer a rich variety of activities and specially designed materials that stimulate all five senses, promote intelligence, and cultivate independence. The learning environment is carefully prepared to support development across five structured areas: Practical Life – Enhancing motor skills and refined control of movement. Sensorial – Building the foundation for intellectual life through sensory exploration. Language and Literacy – Developing communication, reading, and writing skills. Cultural Subjects – Encouraging artistic expression and scientific understanding, including art, music, geometry, geography, meteorology, history, and biology. Mathematics – Strengthening comprehension of basic math concepts, including all four arithmetic operations. In addition to its academic offerings, Cresco Montessori School provides enriching extracurricular experiences. Students participate in weekly yoga and music education classes, and have access to optional afterschool enrichment programs that include TOTs and Playball (athletics), art classes, and private music lessons such as piano and guitar. Whether you are seeking a safe, engaging, and academically empowering environment for your child on a full-time, part-time, or drop-in basis, Cresco Montessori is the place to be. Tuition rates vary depending on the program your child is enrolled in—be it full-time, half-time, before/after school care, or drop-in services.

Care Member says "We are a Japanese family. Everyone at this school is very kind to us. My daughter loves going to school because the teachers are so kind and polite."
