Claire's Montessori is a preschool committed to the future through the care and nurturing of our children. We offer education from infancy through Kindergarten, and respect for the child is at the cornerstone of Claire's Montessori Philosophy.

Claire provides an ideal blend of child care and comprehensive learning. Our parents have led the evolution of this school from an in-home daycare site to a Montessori- based educational center. Thus, we provide all of the love and nurturing you appreciate from a private family-owned home care center along with the safety and educational benefits that you expect from larger daycare facilities.

Our Montessori practice encourages self-directed learning in every aspect of the child’s life from practical skills to complex principles of math and science. At Claire’s, learning topics include the following:

  • Practical Life to help children to develop coordination, independence, fine motor skills, and concentration.
  • Sensorial areas to help children to develop sense of order, refine and discriminate differences in all five senses, and prepare for language and math.
  • Language lessons that allow the child to develop letter sounds, handwriting, grammar and vocabulary.
  • Math lessons that allow the child to develop number concepts, operations, time and money concepts, and measuring and fractions.
  • Cultural lessons that introduce the child to geography, science, zoology and botany materials

Other areas of our program include but are not limited to:
