About this preschool

Guiding Light Montessori is a Montessori-based preschool serving children aged 18 months to 6 years through two class groups: Toddler (18 months to 2.5 years) and Casa (2.5 to 6 years). The facility emphasizes child-led learning, independence, and a nurturing environment rooted in Montessori principles.

Philosophy
In Montessori education there is a dynamic relationship between the child and the educator which is further supported by the learning environment. The child is in charge of their own learning making it different from a 'one-size-fits-all' approach. The materials are curated to help each child to work through at their own pace and once mastered the teacher will advance them to the next level.
