Our School. Our Family. Our Community
The Montessori Method of education, developed by Dr. Maria Montessori, is a child-centered educational approach based on scientific observations of children from birth to adulthood. The Montessori Method has been tested over time with over 100 years of success in diverse cultures throughout the world. The approach values the human spirit and the development of the whole child—physical, social, emotional, and cognitive.
What Makes Us Shine
Hands on Learning
Focused on physical discovery, social interaction, work time, and explorative sessions rather than constant direct instruction. This gives your child the confidence and the materials to satisfy their curiosity and develop independent skills they will carry into the future.
Practical Skills
In developmental stages like preschool and kindergarten, it is important for your child to learn physical, practical skills as much as they gain educational knowledge. Your child becomes independent and responsible with everyday tasks. A competent, confident child will excel in continuing education and life.
Builds Community
We are a school for children and their families. Dandelions Montessori strives to be of service to our families and build community. We host school events, field trips, parent education events, and family socials in order to strengthen our school community. We welcome families from all backgrounds.
