Welcome to Creekside Montessori!

At Creekside Montessori, our mission is to inspire and guide each child to reach their full potential. We are dedicated to fostering a lifelong love of learning through hands-on experiences, individualized instruction, and a supportive community. Our goal is to create an environment where children feel valued, respected, and empowered to explore their interests and develop their unique talents.

We follow the Montessori philosophy, rooted in the principles of Dr. Maria Montessori, which recognizes that children are naturally curious and capable learners. Our approach emphasizes exploration, creativity, and independence, focusing on the holistic development of each child. At Creekside Montessori, we:

• Encourage Independence: We provide opportunities for children to make choices and take responsibility for their learning.
• Foster Curiosity: Our hands-on activities and materials are designed to spark curiosity and inspire a love of learning.
• Promote Respect: We teach children to respect themselves, others, and their environment.
• Support Holistic Development: We focus on the academic, social, emotional, and physical development of each child.

Creekside Montessori offers a variety of programs tailored to meet the needs of children at different stages of development. Our preschool programs include:

• Primary Program: Designed for children aged 3 to 6 years, our primary program provides a rich and stimulating environment where children can explore math, language, science, art, and practical life skills.
• Montessori Plus STEAM Integration: At Creekside, we weave STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) into everything we do. Our curriculum integrates hands-on STEAM activities that foster problem-solving, critical thinking, and creativity.
• Elementary School Readiness: Our program is thoughtfully designed to prepare children for the structured environment of elementary school. We ensure that each child develops the foundational skills needed to transition smoothly and confidently to the next stage of their educational journey.

Our teachers are highly qualified and continually engage in professional development to stay current with the latest educational research and techniques.
