Such a peaceful nap time! 😴 Toddlers in the YCC nap for about 2 hours (each child is unique) after lunch and toileting. Guides help children settle by rubbing their back, playing soothing music, or offering a cuddly stuffed animal. 🧸 #naptime

We are an AMI accredited Montessori school serving children age 14 months through 12 years old.
About us
A Montessori education is about more than excelling in academics. While it is true that our curriculum is academically rigorous, we take pride in educating the whole child. Our ultimate goal is to help each child construct a unique and meaningful existences, to become the best adult he can be. At Villa di Maria Montessori School, we offer YCC, Primary, Lower Elementary, and Upper Elementary education. In the Young Children's Community, you'll find children ages 14 months to 2 1/2 years old. In the primary classroom, children are ages 2 1/2 through 6 years old. Lower Elementary serves ages 6 through 9, and Upper Elementary serves ages 9 through 12. Montessori provides mixed-age community classrooms, so the youngest children have the opportunity to look to the older children as role models, and the older children flourish with this responsibility. As each child grows within his classroom, he takes on greater responsibilities within his community and develops richer relationships with his peers.

We are lucky to have many gifted student teachers come through our school. Becoming an AMI (@ami_montessori ) trained Montessori guide is no small feat. The training is rigorous and requires many hands-on hours in a classroom supervised by an experienced AMI guide. The result is a masterful, fully prepared adult capable of providing a rich environment in which children can flourish. 🧡 #montessoriguide
