At A-List Montessori, we strive to create a warm and inviting environment that fosters a love for learning and growth for children of all ages. Our mission is to "Raise Future Leaders" by providing a solid foundation for their academic and personal development. We believe that teaching children the fundamentals in their early years sets the stage for a lifetime of learning and leadership.
Our Unique Approach
We take a holistic approach to education, focusing on the development of the whole child - mentally, socially, physically, and emotionally. Our intimate classroom settings are carefully designed to encourage independence, self-discovery, and exploration. We believe that children learn best when they are given the freedom to make choices, take risks, and learn from their mistakes.
Montessori Philosophy
Our curriculum is based on the principles of Montessori education, which recognizes the unique potential of each child. We provide a prepared environment that allows children to explore, discover, and learn at their own pace. Our experienced teachers act as guides, rather than lecturers, to facilitate the learning process and provide individualized attention.
Services
Our preschools offer a range of services to support the growth and development of your child. Our schedule includes:
- Half-day and full-day instruction
- Before and after-school care
- Daily activities designed to promote socialization, gross and fine motor skills, and cognitive development

Overall Experience
A-List has been a wonderful experience for our daughter, who attended from 1.5 to 2.5 years. She loved every minute of it, and her language and social skills flourished. The daycare's Montessori-based curriculum and warm, caring environment made it easy for our daughter to learn and grow.
Lessons and Activities
The A-List team weaves empathy and redirection into teaching kindness and caring behavior, which helped our daughter develop her own sense of right and wrong. She learned to read her bodily and emotional signals, and her curiosity was sparked through activities like art, music, and outdoor play. The themed academic modules, such as exploring the earth and body parts, encouraged her to ask questions and learn new things.
Teacher-Student Ratio and Enrichment Programs
A-List has a higher teacher-to-student ratio than traditional Montessori schools, which allowed for more personalized attention and collaborative learning. The daycare also offers seasonal enrichment programs like yoga, soccer, and music, which provided our daughter with a well-rounded education.
Parent-Teacher Relationship
The teachers at A-List are not only skilled academically and in childhood development but also truly care about their students. Our daughter formed strong bonds with her teachers, and we appreciated the loving arms that were always available to cuddle her when she needed comfort.
Transition and Working Parent-Friendly
While it was hard for us to transition out of A-List due to family circumstances, the daycare was understanding and accommodating. They did not shame us for needing to keep our job and were reliable in their operations. This flexibility made A-List a working parent-friendly option.
