About this preschool

Valley Montessori Preschool is a full-service preschool center serving children ages 2-6 years, open year-round with programs for preschoolers and children transitioning to kindergarten. The school combines traditional Montessori and preschool methods with an academic approach, focusing on cognitive, emotional, social, and physical development.

Philosophy
Philosophy is based on Dr. Maria Montessori's understanding of children's natural tendencies to explore and become independent. The Montessori approach is carefully based on children's cognitive, neurological, and emotional development. The environment is designed to be rich in motives that invite children to conduct their own experiences, fostering self-respect, respect for others, and a love for learning.
