EXPLORE EARLY CHILDHOOD WITH US
We understand the journey that you and your child are taking. Beyond our work as Montessori educators and early childhood specialists, we're parents and siblings, informed by our own developmental paths, constantly learning and growing. The search for beautiful and lively early childhood education is familiar to our faculty and staff. It's what led us to the Montessori method in the first place. And it's what brought you here.
AFFORDABLE EXCELLENCE
We know the deep and lasting value of early childhood education. We also know that an authentic Montessori Primary Program with trained and certified faculty tends to cost more per month than daycare. At Maria’s House, we believe that excellence isn’t exclusive.
