About this preschool

Ascension Montessori Children's Center is a licensed preschool serving children aged 2 to 6 years with hands-on, engaging Montessori activities, and also offers aftercare for elementary-aged children. The center operates as an educational outreach ministry of Ascension Evangelical Lutheran Church, partnering with parents to support healthy development academically, physically, socially, and spiritually.

Philosophy
We discovered that education is not something which the teacher does, but that it is a natural process which develops spontaneously in the human being. We seek to partner with parents and family to contribute to the healthy formation of the whole child: academically, physically, socially, and spiritually. We follow Jesus' request to 'Let the children come to me' and welcome all children to the center without regard to race, religion, or ethnic origin.
