About us
Welcome to Hope & Joy Montessori!
In 2022, we established Hope & Joy Montessori with the aim of creating a small and supportive school for children 33 months to 6 years of age to thrive. Now in 2023, we are thrilled to open our doors to children and their families.
Our team has over 20 years of combined experience in educational environments and American Montessori International (AMI) training. We have thoughtfully prepared our Children's House to provide a range of experiences that promote intellectual, social, emotional and physical development. Children are encouraged to explore, learn and grow at their own pace allowing them to take ownership of their learning and develop a sense of independence and self-confidence.
Hope & Joy Montessori values diversity and respect for all individuals. We believe that all children should have access to a strong educational foundation and strive to create an inclusive and welcoming environment where every child feels valued and respected.
We invite you to come explore our school, and see for yourself the wonderful opportunities Montessori offers for discovery and growth. We look forward to partnering with you in your child's early education!
