Namaste Montessori School serves children between eighteen months and twelve years of age in our year-round toddler, primary, and elementary programs.

Our learning community provides an authentic Montessori education, allowing each child to reach their fullest potential.

When obstacles are cleared and needs are met, children cannot help but learn and manifest their best selves.
