Escuela
Natural, Peaceful, Loving
Our Spanish Immersion program fosters a Montessori child-led curriculum and builds confidence, independence, and moral character. We emphasize respect, peace, and nature exploration with an expansive outdoor space. We maintain high education standards and excellent teacher-student ratios while infusing love, warmth, and playfulness into our curriculum.
Maria Montessori's theory of the "Absorbent Mind" explains that children have a natural ability to unconsciously develop intelligence at an advanced rate from birth until the age of six. During this period, they soak up their surroundings effortlessly, much like a dry sea sponge absorbs water.

Why Montessori
Dr. Maria Montessori believed that children have an innate ability to absorb knowledge and develop their cognitive skills quickly and extensively from birth until the age of six. She referred to this period as the "Absorbent Mind." At Montessori Escuela, we provide children with a loving and fun environment that encourages active learning and growth.
