"We must support as much as possible the child's desires for activity; not wait on him, but educate him to be independent."
-Maria Montessori

"Enrolling our daughter into American Montessori was one of the best decisions we made in her education thus far. She attended for 3 years and we were very impressed with the wealth of knowledge she was able to absorb in that period of time. Thank you American Montessori for your level of commitment to education! We will highly recommend you to everyone we know."

A typical preschool day consists of work and play. Play can be indoor/outdoor/or going to the park and is done early morning, before lunch and after afternoon snack.

Work time is used for learning and exploring the different activities within the prepared environment which includes Exercise of Practical Life, Sensorial, Math, Language, Writing, Science, Art, Story time, Music & Movement, Geography and Spanish.

We understand that each preschooler is unique and are at different stages of development, so our objective is to not to compare their abilities with one another, but observe their interests and build their individualized lesson plans around them.

So at the end of their preschool years they have mastered what they like to do and achieved what they need to know to proceed to kindergarten.
