About Us

Montessori Progressive Learning Center  is a non-profit organization that has been serving the community since 1989. We are committed to providing a safe nurturing environment for the  educational growth of children. 

A Montessori approach is described as an “education for life.” Our priority goes beyond the development of just the child’s academic skills. Children are taught to become self-confident, independent thinkers, interested in the world, and enthusiastic about life. 

Our progressive learning approach is designed for our year-round, after-school and summer camp programs. Each child is given the opportunity to grow through academic enrichment, physical activity and social peer interaction. A stimulating environment is created to allow your child to go beyond their perceived limitations and to reach their greatest potential. 

In our classes each child is introduced to the basic skills of intellect as a spontaneous result and extension of their sensory experiences. Students acquire an aural, visual and tactile awareness, while gaining recognition. We believe each child advances at their own pace, it is not unusual to see a four or five-year-old reading, writing and doing simple mathematics together.
