About Namaste

Namaste Montessori is more than just a school: We are a child-centered community of faculty and families who are committed to honoring the light in each child. We know that each child will express their love of learning, their empathy and care for others, and their most peaceful selves, when their developmental needs are met. Therefore, we nurture the mind, body, and spirit of each individual, by implementing Montessori with integrity, and providing meaningful work, interesting educational pursuits, and deep personal connections, .

Namaste Montessori School serves children between the ages of eighteen months and twelve years in our toddler, primary, and elementary programs. We bring dynamic, meaningful, and engaging education to each individual child, and educate and support every family connected to our school. As a result, we build a warm and nurturing community for children and their families. We provide a consistent environment throughout the year, with summer sessions at all levels!

We know young children possess a passion for learning and they absorb information from the world around them. Therefore, our role as adults is to remove any obstacles that might inhibit the child’s inner drive and passion for knowledge. The adults guide and support each child on their individual learning journey, through careful observation, and presentations with Montessori materials. We are honored to have the chance to guide them as they learn.

People call Montessori schools “Children’s Houses” because, for children, these classrooms are as inviting, comfortable, and as enjoyable as their own home. Montessori schools create an environment specifically designed for children not an adult environment adapted for them.

Our philosophy combines a passion and joy for learning with the values of hard work and integrity as well as support in gaining self-regulation skills. Because of those values, our program prepares children not just for success in school, but for success in life.
