At Montessori Academy at Sharon Springs, we focus on supporting the whole child by nurturing your children's social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development. Every part of your child's day is thoughtfully designed to help your little one feel safe, loved, and confident while building a strong foundation for future learning. We are grateful to partner with families in creating a peaceful environment where your son or daughter can thrive.

Our Montessori Infant Program is designed to be much more than traditional childcare. Rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach, our guides follow your child's individual developmental rhythms, providing personalized care, meaningful learning experiences, and individualized attention in a carefully prepared environment. Through authentic Montessori principles, Practical Life experiences, sensorial exploration, and nurturing relationships, your little one is supported as a whole child, building confidence, curiosity, independence, and a strong foundation for preschool, kindergarten, and life.

Your child's day follows their natural rhythms rather than a rigid schedule, allowing them to eat, rest, explore, and play when they are ready. Our authentic Montessori school follows the principles established by Dr. Maria Montessori, and our prepared class environment includes child-sized furniture, low shelves, and opportunities for true discovery. Throughout the day, your child enjoys nurturing interactions, sensory exploration, and Practical Life experiences that build concentration and confidence.

Yes. Our Montessori-trained teachers are called guides, and our team understands the unique developmental needs of infants and young children. When choosing an Infant Program, parents should always look for low teacher-to-infant ratios to ensure individualized attention. Our guides go above and beyond to do just this, so your baby feels known, supported, and in good hands every day. We work closely with each family to ensure your little one feels happy, secure, and cared for.

Absolutely. Our Program supports specific developmental stages while helping your child build independence, confidence, language skills, and the ability to explore their environment with curiosity. Common Montessori curriculum areas include Practical Life, Sensorial, and Mathematics, creating a strong foundation for preschool, kindergarten, and beyond. Elementary classes are also available for children ages 6 to 9 years, allowing many families to continue their Montessori journey with us.

Long before reading begins, your child is building the skills needed for future learning through language-rich experiences, movement, and sensorial exploration. Our Montessori Programs focus on practical life skills and cultural studies while using hands-on materials that help refine the senses and strengthen cognitive development. Recent research continues to highlight the positive outcomes of Montessori education for children's academic growth and well-being.

During your tour, you will have access to our classrooms, meet our team, and see how we create a peaceful, nurturing environment where everyone feels welcome and valued.
