Why do so many families choose Montessori?

We Meet Children Where They Are


Our school is designed to allow each child to move at their own pace. We know that learning is not linear, and that children are not ready to learn specific skills according to a specific timeline or in lockstep with their peers.

We Emphasize More than Just Academics

We honor your child’s individuality and focus on curiosity, independence, compassion, collaboration, and critical thinking, preparing him or her to take on the future with confidence, propelled by the gift of self-knowledge and a passion for learning.



…but the Academics Are a Huge Strength 


It is not uncommon to see four-year-olds in our school reading, six-year-olds completing long division problems. Our curriculum presents skills at the time when children are most ready to learn.


We’re a Community


Our school is a community for more than just the children. We view our relationship with you as a partnership, working together for the benefit of your child. Because children thrive when home and school work in harmony. 




“MCOL is the best decision we’ve ever made! Coming from another Montessori program with high expectations, MCOL impressed us beyond what we could imagine at half of the tuition price. My daughter grew her academic skills and interests in science tremendously during the two years here. Her teachers both have such a strong bond with each child that lasted years even after they graduated. The team at MCOL are angels!”

You know the feeling the morning alarm goes off, and you begin the process of getting yourself and your children ready to leave for school and the business of your day. You may start this process each morning with the added time constraints of getting your children to school and yourself to work on time or to a personal appointment. Each new morning gives us the possibility of a peaceful morning. You know, the ideal morning when you can sit down and enjoy a hot and uninterrupted coffee. Your children are dressed and eating their breakfast with a delightful hum in the air. All is right with your world. How does this day look so different from yesterday's quarreling and tears? What did you change? The first thing that most likely changed was that you placed time in the position of a friend versus a foe. So, how did you go about that? Most likely, you prioritized what had to be done. Each of you needs to dress, eat, brush your teeth/hair, and put on shoes with everything packed for the day. Perfection isn't the aim, so let that go quickly—take deep breaths.

A frequent question of prospective parents recommended to us by friends and family members involve our reading approach. We get (and love) that our approach is different and based on how the brain develops in children from infancy through sixth grade. Let’s take a look inside the many pieces of our Montessori Center of Our Lady reading process…
