- Providing avenues for creative expression
- Fostering self-esteem
- Cognitive development and problem-solving skills
- Music and movement (including yoga)
- Enhancing fine motor and gross motor skills

- Our faculty is comprised of Montessori Directresses and Teacher Assistants. Because we believe in providing quality education in a stimulating and nurturing environment for our children, we ensure that all our staff are qualified to perform their designated duties as per the Montessori method of education. Additionally, the staff is subjected to State and Federal Criminal Background checks as well as a physical examination to ensure that they are safe and healthy enough to work with our children. The common underlying factor among our staff is their genuine love for children and their teamwork approach in helping them to reach their potential.
- The Baltimore Montessori Canton is a beautiful church building built in 1890, just off of O'Donnell Square. It is surrounded by great scenery and restaurants and is half a block from the historic Enoch Pratt Library. This location has a beautiful green outdoor area as well as an inviting indoor play space for the children. Equipped with large airy classrooms, high ceilings, wood floors, stained glass windows, and oversized barn doors, it is a mixture of old world charm and modern accents. This location is also 2 minutes away from I-95, 10 minutes to I-83, and a few minutes away from The Johns Hopkins Medical Center. Our Canton location is in a central spot that is easily accessible.
