Montessori Escuela – Belmont

At Montessori Escuela we implement a child-led philosophy where each student pursues their personal educational interests. Over time, the accomplishment of tasks of increasing difficulty allows the child to naturally build intense confidence, independence, and solid moral character. Our classroom focuses intently on respect, peace, and nature exploration in a Spanish Immersion environment with outdoor hiking trails, a bubbling stream, and acres of conservation land for educational use and exploration, as well as the Beaver Brook splash deck and park adjacent to the school. We are most proud of our teacher-student ratio of 1:4 for toddlers, and 1:7 for Children’s House and strive to maintain the highest quality preschool education for young children blended with lots of love, warmth, and a sprinkle of silly. Montessori Escuela is an American Montessori Society member and we firmly believe in the value of having our team of guides maintain their Montessori credentials and training. We also employ and implement certified yoga instructors, mindfulness, music and horticulture specialists, as well as Mass Audubon Drumlin Farm Wildlife Sanctuary educators to present lessons to our students as enrichment to our students receiving our Montessori educational philosophy. Our classrooms offer lessons such as sewing, woodworking, food preparation, cooking, gardening, flower arranging, weaving, music and storytelling, the Montessori Bells, language (including phonetics, reading, writing and much more), math, cultural studies in botany, geography, physical science, flags, animals, vertebrates/invertebrates, human body, the solar system, land and water forms, mathematics from numeration 1-10 up to advanced squaring and cubing chains or more advanced academic content. Families can choose from flexible schedules between 8 am to 5 pm daily on a year-round basis for children ages 15 months through 6 years of age.
