Monarch Christian Montessori is a Christian Montessori Preschool & Kindergarten.
With a holistic approach to education, we provide children a unique hands-on learning environment by combining Montessori methods and Christian values and ethics; we aim to provide an outlet to nurture each child spiritually, intellectually, physically, emotionally, and socially.
Our daily schedule includes the Montessori work period, as well as daily chapel lessons, snack time, and outdoor play.
We offer a flexible program schedule (half-day/full-day, and year-round/summer programs) that can be customized to meet the needs of the child and the family.
Our school program provides optional extended care hours, snack and lunch services, and extracurricular activities (art, music, piano lessons, exercise, French and Spanish language, etc.). Monarch boasts a competitive Kindergarten program, which produces graduates that consistently score one or two grade levels higher, and offers a rigorous curriculum that utilizes the Montessori method to meet each child at his/her learning level. We are proud to offer an excellent summer program that emphasizes not only the continuation of Montessori education into the summer, but also integrates STEM activities and project-based learning.
