At Bala House Montessori we encourage EVERYONE (moms, dads, grandfriends, etc.) to actively participate in all aspects of the workings of our school. We believe the education of the whole child is a cooperative effort between families, teachers, and children. Volunteer needs and donation requests for fruit, vegetables, flowers, etc will be published in the classroom news and weekly school emails as needed.
Bala House, located on the Main Line, provides an exceptional Montessori program for preschool and kindergarten students between the ages of three and six years old in which their independence, self confidence, and social skills are fostered. We have five mixed age early childhood classes and two kindergarten classes.
