OUR SCHOOL
Welcome to Cathedral Montessori
Our new facilities are designed specifically to enhance the religious and educational precepts of our early childhood program. We welcome children ages 6 weeks through 6 years old. In our school, we desire to awaken every child’s natural wonder and curiosity. Our school is child-centered within a nurturing, spiritual environment where exceptional and experienced teachers support and guide each of their students with warmth and respect.

"The environment must be rich in motives which lend interest to activity and invite the child to conduct his own experiences."
—Maria Montessori
At Cathedral Montessori, we have three different Programs: Nido, Toddler, and Primary. Each Program’s classroom is specifically designed for the developmental stages of the children, giving them opportunities to growth their independence in safe, nurturing environments.
In the Nido environment, children range in age from 6 weeks to 18 months. With a ratio of 1 guide for every 3 students, each child is lovingly cared for and observed, ensuring their safety and support while giving them opportunities for age-appropriate independence.
In the Toddler environment, children range in age from 18 to 36 months. With a ratio of 1 guide to every 5 students, each child is introduced to the 5 areas of the Montessori curriculum. The design of the Toddler classroom, and the educational materials within, reflect these interests and provide rich opportunities for learning that nurture children’s complete development.
In the Primary environment, children range in age from 3 to 6 years old. With a ratio of 1 guide to every 10 students, each child cultivates their knowledge in the 5 areas of the Montessori curriculum. The environment allows them many opportunities for their own independence, including making their own snacks and learning at their own pace.
At Cathedral Montessori, we have outdoor spaces designed specifically for children to learn, play, and explore the natural environment: Montessori playgrounds and a beautiful garden.
Studies show that nature play is a valuable and important part of childhood. Did you know children are happier, healthier, more resilient, and demonstrate better academic outcomes as result of increased nature play?
Our playground was designed by Green Space Learning. Green Space Nature Playgrounds are handcrafted from the highest quality materials, exceeding safety standards and compliance regulations. All of our pressure-treated pine play structures are pressure treated with only child safe and non-toxic materials. Alternatively, our Western Red Cedar play structures are naturally non-toxic and even bug-repellant.
