Math at the Children's Workshop in Marblehead, a Montessori Preschool, uses physical objects to help demonstrate abstract concepts. The Children's Workshop is a private pre-school committed to the concept of excellence in the child's first educational experience.
Our principal purpose is to develop an enthusiasm for learning and a sense of kindness toward other people while encouraging the children to develop personal initiative, independence of thought and the ability to make good choices and decisions.I had two children attend the Children's Workshop. One is on the Dean's List at Berklee College of Music and the other is an amazing high schooler.

Why are the old stories important? Why do we return to the people and events of our collective past? It may be that as we celebrate and remember what they accomplished, we are looking for a model of what we can be today. Especially today as we search for powerful and convincing evidence that courage pays, that it is indeed the duty of the strong to protect the weak, that we can individually, by our own actions, make the world a better place.

The Children's Workshop is such a special and unique school! I always heard wonderful things about the program, and when our son started attending 3 years ago I got to experience the magic firsthand. The emotional growth was noticeable in the first few months, he gained confidence, patience, and a sense of community. The Workshop's curriculum is also impressive and very creative. At age 5.5 he is already reading books, writing, and even doing math problems. The years between 3-6 are so formative and I truly get the sense that the skills he’s learned at the Workshop have set him up for a successful

This is our first year at the Children's Workshop and we can't say enough good things about our experience and each one of the amazing teachers. Our child is excited to go to school each day and comes home regaling us with what she learned that day; the customs of foreign countries, a song in Spanish, painters such as Frida Kahlo and Vincent Van Gogh and practicing her reading, writing and numbers. The Children's Workshop has opened a whole new world for our child in a loving, friendly and supportive environment. The school has planted the seeds for our child to become a life-long learner and we

My daughter is now in her third year at the Children’s Workshop Montessori School and we couldn’t be more impressed with the program. The teachers have harnessed her strengths to build her confidence and give her a life-long love of learning. She has flourished in her reading, Spanish, math and maturity. I highly recommend this Montessori school.

Our son has really progressed in the year he has been at the workshop. He is proud of the reading progress he has been making and is excited about learning which is a huge foundational milestone. The program is great at integrating learning with things that children are excited about. For example, they sing songs to learn about and remember the continents. They have tea parties to learn about Russia, and use art to help them understand the world. It is a great school, and we regret not putting our older son in the program. I highly recommend it.

I have had 3 children attend the Children's Workshop Montessori and will forever be grateful for our experience there. It is a calm, loving, sweet and educational environment. I love how they encourage independence, and are able to dedicate an enormous amount of time and energy to each child. I would highly recommend this school to anyone!

My children have absolutely flourished at the Workshop. Their reading, math skills and problem solving abilities have soared because of this amazing school. The teachers are kind and encourage kids every step of the way. We have been so happy to see them develop throughout this year and are already looking forward to next year. I would recommend this program to anyone who truly values a Montessori education.

The Children's Workshop has opened a whole new Universe of imagination learning for our child! From reading, writing, math, art, music, languages, history, geography, kids are truly encouraged to develop an early love of learning. We saw a dramatic difference after a year at the workshop: our daughter reads chapter books (!), she writes phrases and sentences, she has made huge progress in addition, subtraction and simple multiplication, she sings songs in Spanish, she recognizes works of the greatest painters, from da Vinci and Rousseau to Pirosmani and Pollock, she names and locates the continents

Our sons couldn’t have had a better introduction to their education than at The Children’s Workshop Montessori. Their space is welcoming, beautiful, and enriching. Besides their program which exceeds all expectations; the teachers do an excellent job in educating kids that are polite, well mannered, and well aware of the world around them. Our older son did the 3 year program and still loves when he has the chance to visit his teachers who he still loves. Our younger son is currently in second year and wishes school was open on weekends. It has been truly magical to see our sons so engaged
