For more than a century, the child-focused approach Italian physician Dr. Maria Montessori conceptualized, has transformed education world-wide. When you enter a Montessori classroom, something is different.
Within the community of a multi-age class, designed to create opportunities for independence and accountability between students, children follow their curiosity at their own pace, taking the time they need to understand concepts and meet individualized learning goals while working creatively on engaging projects.
Within the community of a multi-age class, designed to create opportunities for independence and accountability between students, children follow their curiosity at their own pace, taking the time they need to understand concepts and meet individualized learning goals while working creatively on engaging projects.
The Montessori way means your child will be encouraged to learn at their own pace, abstaining from the rigid, one size fits all expectations of traditional early learning centers. Our unique mixed-age classrooms invite older children to lead as natural teachers, while younger children learn at a natural pace.
Babies develop rapidly in the first 12 months of their life, both physically and cognitively. Our certified Montessori teachers enhance your child's development, on all levels, while guiding them through the sensorial play that sharpens their skills at this age. Our infant classroom is a clean, uncluttered, open space that allows your child to move and explore safely.
Toddlers crave independence and want to try to do everything on their own. Under the watchful eye of the teacher, children are given freedom within limits to explore their environment and work on activities they gravitate towards naturally. Allowing your child space and time to work at their own pace gives them a sense of control and order, leading to feelings of contentment.
Weekly themes allow children to explore a subject in-depth while they complete projects and enjoy visits from special guests. Children learn about the different layers of the rainforest and the animals that live there. Dan, "The Creature Man", brings jungle creatures for the children to handle, such as frogs, snakes, and parrots.

Not just a preschool or daycare. It's obvious that the staff are happy and Ms LeAnn really values her employees. She takes excellent care of her teachers and children at Brighton Montessori. My daughter absolutely loves going to school. She comes home and I hear her sounding out letters while playing, writing them while coloring, speaking Spanish out of the blue, adding up random items at home. My daughter has also gotten better at interrupting while adults talk and using her manners. All of these are taught and reinforced at Brighton Montessori. Im so impressed with my daughter's school and teachers

I have three children and they have been a part of the infant, toddler, and pre-primary programs. I absolutely LOVE Brighton Montessori and my children do too!! They have all excelled so much and it is very clear that their teachers care so much for them. I always feel very comfortable having them there. We will continue to recommend Brighton Montessori to everyone! ❤️

Our experience with Brighton Montessori has been wonderful, to say the least. I can't say enough good things about the staff and the environment.
This is our 3rd year at Brighton Montessori, we can't imagine sending our child anywhere else! My son started shortly after he turned 2 and I was returning to work full time. We wanted more than a daycare. We wanted our son to learn and grow on his own terms with the guidance of caring compassionate teachers. We wanted him to see that learning is fun and something for him to be excited about! Which we found in spades at Brighton Montessori.

We cannot say enough good things about Brighton Montessori! We moved our infant daughter here from another local daycare and we could not be more happy or confident that this was one of the best decisions we could have made! Her teachers are so kind, and it is clear that they are passionate about what they do. We feel like they truly are invested in her development and are just as excited about her growth as we are! They have exceeded our expectations in so many ways. We are so incredibly grateful to send our daughter here. Highly recommended!

Brighton Montessori School is an extraordinary school! This is the second year that our family has had the privilege of sending our daughter to BMS & I must say this is one of the best decisions we have made in my daughters life so far! Leann, the owner, truly cares about each and every child that attends her phenomenal school. The learning environment that she has created is nurturing, kind ,stimulating, and enriching in every way! My daughter first started out in the toddler room with Ms. Ann who I just completely adore and she now is in Ms. Maria‘s pre-primary class who is as spectacular of

Brighton Montessori is a great school. My daughter absolutely loves it! She is 4 and is now reading, doing math, learning Spanish, yoga, and more. They teach them to clean up after themselves and help out with tasks at home. She is definitely more of a helper and takes pride in doing things for herself.

Staff is enthusiastic and highly professional and kind. The kids have so much fun and learn to use their manners, treat each other kindly, clean up after themselves, and be helpful. My 2 year old asks to go to school when we have a day off! He loves Brighton Montessori, and it's perfect for our family.

We absolutely love Brighton Montessori! My son has loved going to school since his first day. The staff is wonderful, and they do an awesome job of making learning fun for the kids. Each child can move at their own pace, and has a say in what and when they learn. I have noticed growth in my son in only a few short months, and he has become very independent.

My toddler attends Brighton Montessori, and I am thrilled with her experience so far. Ms. Ann and Ms. Heather show genuine care for every child in the toddler room. On a weekly basis, our daughter brings home evidence of having done some kind of school-wide, authentic project, which is something I deeply value as a parent. Leann, the new owner and director of this school, demonstrates intention and organizes the school in alignment with Montessori principles and practices. My husband and I couldn't be happier that this opportunity exists for our child in our hometown.

We started with Brighton Montessori in 2010 and had a wonderful experience with our son and continued with our daughter. They do a great job. Both my kids absolutely loved going to school each day and would be upset if I showed up too early to pick them up! The staff is wonderful there!! I would highly recommend Brighton Montessori to anyone looking for a top notch preschool and kindergarten.
