For many visitors, Saturday will be their first time on a Montessori campus. That matters to us. Our prepared environment, our approach to child-led learning, and the way our guides work with children are things

Every morning at drop-off, there is a moment that sets the tone for the day ahead. It’s the transition from home to school, from parent to guide. At MSOSV, we have always understood that this moment carries real weight. That’s why, beginning March 23rd, your child’s Lead Guide will be standing at the classroom door to greet your family personally each morning.

At Cantera Montessori, our recent Parent Education evening focused on one of the most significant transitions in early childhood: the Toilet Learning Journey.
