Nurturing Creative & Innovative Minds Through Self Directed Montessori Education

La Prima Montessori is recognized by the American Montessori Society (AMS), currently on the path to full accreditation. Our Montessori educators proudly follow the principles of Dr. Maria Montessori. With a commitment to AMS standards, we shape our curriculum, programs, and teaching practices to provide a strong, meaningful foundation for every child’s lifelong journey of learning and growth.

Our Mission

Our mission is to honor and support the individuality of every child by nurturing their physical, emotional, and intellectual development. We strive to create a safe, inclusive, and enriching environment where children feel valued and empowered. Through guided learning and compassionate care, we help shape future leaders who are confident, empathetic, and ready to contribute positively to the world.

Our Philosophy

We believe that every child is naturally curious, capable, and deserving of respect. Our Montessori approach encourages independence, creativity, and critical thinking through hands-on experiences and a child-led pace. By fostering a sense of responsibility and self-motivation early on, we help children build the confidence and character they need for lifelong learning and personal growth.

Our Vision

Our vision is to cultivate a community rooted in emotional, intellectual, and cultural intelligence. We aim to inspire a deep sense of belonging and connection through empathy, respect, and collaboration. By embracing mindful teaching and reflective practices, we strive to continuously evolve—nurturing children who are not only academically prepared but also grounded in kindness and self-awareness.
