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!”

    Our family chose MCOL for our children in order to weave the tenets of Catholic faith into a solid educational foundation. Our children are lovingly cared for in a peaceful and safe environment as they appreciate and learn to care for God's creation. Graduates of MCOL in our family still fondly reflect on their own teachers, their classrooms, and time in the chapel. Such value for the money!

    "I am immensely grateful for the selfless dedication of the Felician Sisters. Their lasting influence on my children, alums of the Montessori Center of Our Lady, shines particularly through Sr. Paulita, the Foundress of MCOL, and Sr. Agnes. My girls fondly remember them whenever they talk about MCOL. Sr. Clarence has touched my heart with her inspirational words and unwavering dedication to the children, guiding me through challenging times. She truly was a beacon of support and kindness."
