Credentialed Montessori Guides

Our guides hold or are actively pursuing AMS Montessori credentials. They observe, follow, and deeply know your child as an individual with their own unfolding pace and potential.

Authentic Montessori Materials

Every classroom offers genuine Montessori materials, from Practical Life and Sensorial to Language and Mathematics. Children return to the same materials across multiple years, building depth and mastery at their own pace.

A Prepared Environment

Our classrooms are designed to invite independence. Everything is sized for children, accessible on purpose, and arranged to support freedom of choice within a thoughtfully ordered space. The environment is the third teacher.

A Multi-Year Community

Montessori is a three-year cycle by design. Children stay with the same guide and peer community across multiple years, which builds security, deepens relationships, and allows learning to unfold at its natural pace. Younger children look to older ones. Older children gain confidence through mentorship. This is cooperation in action.

Extended Hours That Work for Families

Full Day options run 7:00 am to 6:00 pm, so families can plan with confidence. The same high-quality, guide-led environment extends through the afternoon.

The SAGE Teacher Education Institute

MSOSV trains its own guides through our in-house SAGE Teacher Education Program. The educators in our classrooms are trained within our culture, our philosophy, and our specific commitment to the child.

Registration Fee: $200 due at enrollment

This fee holds your child’s place and confirms your family’s commitment to joining our community. It is assessed per child and per offered start date. This fee is non-refundable.

Annual Materials Fee: $300 due September 1st or at enrollment

This fee directly supports your child’s classroom experience throughout the year. It covers consumable materials used in food preparation, art exploration, cultural studies, and seasonal celebrations, the hands-on, sensory-rich work that brings the Montessori environment to life. This fee is non-refundable.

Annual Re-Enrollment Fee: $300 due in February

MSOSV operates on a year-round school year running September 1 through August 31. Each February, current families have the opportunity to secure their child’s place for the coming year before outside enrollment opens. Submitting a new tuition agreement and paying this fee by the deadline guarantees your family’s continued spot in the community. Spaces not confirmed by the deadline may be offered to families on our waitlist. Current MSOSV families always have first priority. This fee is non-refundable and assessed per child.
