Our Story

Child Garden Montessori was established in 1963 with the mission to create a space where children are respected as individuals and their natural curiosity is fostered. For decades, we’ve stayed true to the Montessori principles of child-led, hands-on learning while continually evolving to meet the needs of today’s families.
