Thank you for your interest in our program. Below you'll find information about the services we provide, the openings we have, how to schedule a tour, and what our enrollment process looks like.

Our scholarship program is designed to support families whose children would not be able to attend the Butterfly House Montessori Preschool without financial assistance. Scholarships are granted as a percentage of total annual tuition and typically fall within the 5-20% range. The application process is simple.

Our intricate curriculum is carefully designed around the Montessori philosophy of "follow the child". Each area of the classroom is thoughtfully designed to spark interest and independence in each child. Our staff act as guides who carefully lead each child to discover for themselves the wonder of the world around them.

Montessori Philosophy is rooted in a deep respect for every child, their natural inner-drive to explore this world, and their ability to absorb their environment. We believe in the power of freedom within limits, following the child's interests, and guiding them towards independence as they choose their own work, practice social skills, and grow into good stewards of their environments (earth, home, and school).
