Services
Infant Programs
Our infant program (ages 0-1) creates a nurturing environment for sensory exploration and foundational skill development. Certified Montessori guides use specialized materials to support motor development, language acquisition, and social-emotional growth. The program emphasizes trust-building and independence through carefully prepared spaces that encourage natural curiosity and discovery.
Primary Education
Our primary program (ages 3-6) focuses on self-directed learning with hands-on materials that develop reading, math, and cultural understanding. Children progress at their own pace while building concentration, coordination, and social responsibility. Mixed-age classrooms foster mentorship opportunities and collaborative learning experiences that prepare students for future academic success.
Family Communication
We maintain regular communication through scheduled conferences, progress updates, and family events. Our approach includes orientation sessions for new families, Montessori philosophy workshops, and opportunities for classroom participation. This partnership ensures consistent support for each child's developmental journey across home and school environments.
Community Resources
Our community resources provide access to educational materials, parenting workshops, and networking opportunities. Families receive guidance on Montessori principles for home implementation and benefit from social events that strengthen school community connections. These resources enhance the overall educational experience through shared learning and mutual support.
School Tours
Guided tours offer prospective families firsthand experience of our Montessori environment. Visitors observe active classrooms, interact with educators, and explore learning materials. The visit includes detailed information about curriculum, tuition, and enrollment while addressing specific family questions about our educational approach and facility features.

Our little one has been here for quite some time! We have been pleased with growth and learning, the staff, and cultural offerings, and so much more!!! It's very easy to volunteer for various activities and events. They offer parent sessions often to learn about Montessori and child development, etc. Highly recommended!

This school is dramatic and judgmental. The way they judged a child or a family is unacceptable. I am glad my son is not there anymore and I regret considering this school for him in the first place. I gave it two stars because they do have a good policy to prevent any sickness spreading across children.

Both of my children have had good experiences at Meadows Montessori. Despite what the previous reviewers have said, the teachers ARE Montessori certified. The school recently had a visit from the Deputy Secretary of Education so he could learn about the benefit of Montessori education in early childhood. I have always had the sense that all staff care about my children, and they have developed a great deal in the last year or so. It would be nice if the play space was a bit more green, but given the urban setting (and convenient commuter location), the size of the yard is understandable. Both

If you are looking for a true Montessori setting or even an educational environment for your child I would recommend you continue your search because neither will be found here. It can be very misleading upon arrival as they have purchased the correct Montessori "props" to fool the parent with little experience, but the facade does not continue once your child is enrolled. The lead teachers are not qualified, nor is the director. The owners will tell you exactly what they think you want to hear and continue to repeat. They claim to have many enricment opportunities, but in truth they

My son has been there for the past 2 years and they have done an AMAZING job with his development academically, as well as emotionally! I can not begin to thank them enough for the positive influence they have been in my son's life.

This is one of those rare places where all seems to work just right all the time. The level of involvement and professionalism the school displays is not only reassuring but truly inspirational. One can feel the overwhelming sense of care and love for the children that can only come from a dedicated staff that is excited to be there, and for that, we are grateful.

We've found Meadows to be a great preschool solution for our 2-year old. All the teachers are super-friendly, and show obvious love and affection towards all the children. Our son can't wait to go inside each day, and we can already see some of the manners and good habits he's picked up at school.
