Our preschool is a tight-knit group of Montessori educators and learners, located just north of downtown Nashville, TN.
We serve students 2.5 to 5 years of age.
“We believe in educating the whole child—mind, body, and spirit. We adhere to a growth mindset: that one's abilities are determined by one's effort and attitude, and failures are opportunities to grow.”

OUR MISSION
We believe that every child and adult has something to offer to the educational setting by simply being present; learning is a dynamic and exciting endeavor if everyone’s experience and wisdom is honored. We believe in empowering human beings of all ages through the implementation of the Montessori Method and philosophy as present and engaged Montessori educators. ​
What is Montessori?
The Montessori Method was created by educational trailblazer, Dr. Maria Montessori, an Italian physician and educational theorist. As a physician, she applied the same principles of the scientific method to her practice with young children in institutional settings, and her observations of children revolutionized the field of early childhood education.
