Discover a World Where Young Minds Grow
Ivy League Kids Montessori School is based on the philosophy, teachings, and materials developed by Dr. Maria Montessori. The primary classroom is an environment that encourages social integration for concentration, cooperative learning, peer teaching, and emotional development. Children ages 3-6 learn together in the same setting. The younger children are guided by the teachers and by observing and working with older students. The Ivy League Kids Montessori schools are a preschool, pre-k and kindergarten. We offer full and half day options.
Children learn to work at a task from beginning to end and develop their self-discipline and capacity for total concentration. Courtesy for others, grace, and respect develop naturally as the children grow within the Montessori environment. Montessori is a unique philosophy that allows the child to direct his/her path of learning.
Our Kinderbridge program is an extended day preschool/kindergarten where we transport students from local school districts to our sites. Limited spots available.

We hope that by exposing a child to a Montessori environment with a Montessori approach to education, they will blossom into a creative human being:
…a human being who has respect for him/herself as well as the world around them;
…a human being who initiates tasks with interest and enthusiasm;
…a human being who has sufficient self-confidence to explore, experiment, discover and learn on their own as well from their peers;
…a human being who is self-motivated;
…a human being who works for his/her inner satisfaction;
…a human capable of involving him/herself in self-chosen tasks for a length of time;
…a human being who can complete the tasks he/she initiates;
…a human being who can exercise inner discipline when necessary; and
…a human being who can love and live in peace with all people.
