We are a Catholic Montessori school with a Toddler Community of children ages 16 months to 33 months, a Children's House (Preschool through Kindergarten), Elementary, and a Middle School. Our Toddler Community and Children's House have a total capacity of 40 children. Montessori schools promote hands on, self paced, collaborative, joyful learning. Children in Montessori follow their interests, wherever that passion leads; giving them strong academics, leadership, self discipline, responsibility, independence, initiative and a lifelong love of learning. Children are innately interested in learning about the world around them and through their natural curiosity are able to develop themselves. By providing an environment that supports natural development, Montessori education enables children to develop the fundamental capacities that they need to become happy and fulfilled adults who contribute to society.

Family atmosphere, personalized childcare: We have a wonderful environment of fun, love, and learning. I take care of two boys, age 6 years old and 2 years old, in the Excelsior area. We are looking to add another child (or two!) to the bunch during the upcoming school year so the young one especially can have a playmate(s) while the older one is in kindergarten. We have a very personalized environment of fun and learning; we love the outdoors, baking, arts and crafts, music, and lots of outings: parks, beaches, zoo, nature exploration, museums, libraries, churches, festivals, etc. We try to make play creative and explorative, and learning fun and challenging. I am open to heads tarting your children in music, (I play piano and guitar), Spanish or French, faith formation, etc. Feel free to address any questions whatsoever to myself, the care provider, or the parents of the boys I currently take care of. Currently our care hours have been daytime work hours Monday - Thursday, but we can certainly be flexible.
