Montessori Curriculum
Our Montessori curriculum uses tactile materials to develop cognitive skills through sensory exploration. Children engage with self-correcting tools that promote independent problem-solving in mathematics, language, and science. Multi-sensory activities build foundational academic skills while fostering concentration and self-discipline.
Early Childhood Education
We offer structured learning for children aged 18 months to 6 years. Our program develops social-emotional skills through collaborative activities while building academic readiness with individualized instruction. Daily routines incorporate movement, art, and music to support holistic development in a prepared environment.
Practical Life Skills
Students master real-world tasks through purposeful activities. Pouring, sweeping, and food preparation exercises develop fine motor control and coordination. These exercises build confidence through accomplishment while teaching responsibility and classroom community participation.
Sensorial Activities
Our sensory materials isolate specific qualities like texture, temperature, and dimension. Children refine their senses through sorting, matching, and grading exercises that prepare them for abstract mathematical concepts and language development through tactile exploration.
Language Development
Phonetic awareness begins with sound discrimination activities. Moveable alphabet materials enable early writing before formal handwriting. Vocabulary enrichment occurs through cultural studies and nature exploration, building communication skills through immersive, multisensory experiences.

My two daughters attended CHE and had a wonderful experience. I am so glad I found this school at just the right time. The teachers are all wonderful. I really felt like we were part of an extended family. I highly recommend CHE to anyone looking for quality Montessori education for their kids.

My two sons attended Children's House of Exton for Preschool and full day Kindergarten. I was not familiar with Montessori before they attended school there, but now I am a firm believer. The Montessori method helps the students experience all types of learning including reading, math and practical life skills. All the teachers there are outstanding. Mrs. Nace taught my sons mathematics and they left Kindergarten adding and subtracting 4 digit numbers, doing basic multiplication and division and starting an introduction into fractions. Mrs. Yohannan, the head teacher, is kind, patient and has

This will be the third year with Children's House and I can't wait for it to begin. The curriculum is extensive and covers all the areas (social, math, art, culture, reading).The school teaches them discipline without being too strict, respect and other values which enhances their personality. My son loves all the teachers and looks forward to go to school each day. Communication with teachers is easy. This is the best school in my opinion for young kids .

This is a true Montessori school with well-trained and compassionate teachers. The lead teacher, Mrs. Yohannon, is simply the best. She is sweet and hardworking and knows her students so well. All of the other teachers that help in the classroom are like family. They are truly some of the most patient and caring adults I have seen work with children. Karen Nace, the head of the school, is awesome.
I had two kids go through Children's House and can say that I spent many evenings just talking with Karen Nace about how my child learns and what is in her/his best interest. She works hard to make Children

Children's House is such an important extension of our family. All of the teachers are fantastic, and truly care about the children. The Montessori method is such a wonderful learning style, that has not only been a valuable part of our children's lives, but mine as well as I am also a Children's House of Exton graduate (30 years ago!). The school, simply cannot be beat!! Thank you to all of the CHE staff.

What an amazing school! My child has excelled so much in just a year of attending the Children's House of Exton, that I tell all my friends with young children that they need to check it out. My second son, when he is old enough will attend as well! I don't think the school would be as amazing if it wasn't for the staff. The first day I toured the school I knew they would embrace my child and care for him as I would during the day. We love it so much that we signed up for all the camps this summer and are very excited to see what next year brings. I would highly recommend taking a tour of this

We are thrilled with program and staff at Children's House of Exton. The programs, teachings, and values adhere to the Montessori principles. Our daughter flourished while attending Pre-K and Full Day Kindergarten. After 3 years in this environment, she had acquired a high level of confidence and social acumen, she learned self-reliance and practical life skills, and received an education that more than prepared her for 1st grade. What a wonderful experience!
