Where Your Child
Here, your child will find a caring community and a warm welcome. They will joyfully explore their world, discovering the path of authentic Montessori learning.
Where Children Flourish as Themselves
We believe each child is already whole and wonderful. Our job is simply to create a space where their natural curiosity can unfold, where they feel deeply seen and loved, and where learning feels as natural as breathing.
Learning the Montessori Way
What Makes Our Community Special
Every day, we're amazed by the children in our care. Here's what we've learned creates the best environment for them to grow and flourish.
Each Child is Unique
We see and celebrate who each child truly is. Their pace, their interests, their way of learning—it's all honored here.
Everyone Belongs
Our classroom thrives because of our differences. Every child, every family, every way of being—you belong in our community.
Learning Should Be Accessible
Beautiful education shouldn't depend on family income. We work with each family to make this possible.
Growing Together
Children, families, and teachers—we're all learning and growing alongside each other in this beautiful journey.

Parent
"The Montessori approach at Spicebush has been transformative for our daughter. She's become so independent and curious about everything around her. The teachers, especially Kira, have such patience and skill in guiding children toward their interests. The hands-on learning materials and the outdoor time have made such a difference in her development. We couldn't be happier with our choice."Manisha A.

Following the Child's Natural Rhythm
Morning Gathering & Choice Time
Children settle into their day, choose work that calls to them, and begin their individual learning journey with gentle support from teachers.
Learning from Each Other
Older children naturally become teachers and mentors, while younger ones learn by watching and doing. Everyone finds their special place.
Nature as Our Extended Classroom
We step outside often, exploring, discovering, and connecting with the natural world that surrounds and inspires us.
Every Child Brings Something Beautiful
We've learned that neurodivergent children don't just belong in our community—they make it richer, more joyful, and more alive. Their unique ways of seeing and being in the world teach all of us something new every day.
