At Seeds of Life Montessori Academy, your child will experience all of the benefits of an authentic Montessori education.
Our guides are Montessori-trained professionals.
They’ve completed rigorous training in child development and understand how children learn. They love what they do and continue to learn through professional development.
The Montessori classroom environment is rich with materials uniquely designed for children.
Based on years of scientific research, the Montessori classroom is an inviting space rich with materials and furniture uniquely designed for children. From the sinks to the toilets to the tables, all are made to fit your child perfectly, supporting your child’s developing independence and confidence.
Children learn by doing.
Children are exposed to hundreds of specially designed materials that invite hands-on exploration. They will choose what they want to explore, creating strong neural pathways that contribute to the construction of a strong brain.
The curriculum adapts to your child.
We recognize that children have their own unique timetable for development and will learn different parts of the curriculum when they are ready. We teach to the individual needs of your child, not to the entire class or to a group of children.
We support parents too!
We take seriously the notion that children thrive when home and school work in harmony. To that end, we offer parent education throughout the year.
You’ll not likely find other programs that offer the same benefits. Here’s why:
Traditional school programs are adult-centered.
The teacher or adult in charge of the classroom will decide what the classroom does and when. The child does not have any choice in how they would like to spend their time, and they will not get to explore their unique interests. Some children fall behind because of this model.
Lack of highly-trained staff.
Many schools do not require the same standards of training as Montessori institutions. Because of this, they often lack the in-depth understanding and knowledge of a young child’s developmental needs.
Developmental needs are not a priority.
Many traditional models are focused on entertaining the child and filling time. They use toys and group activities to get through the day instead of focusing on the developmental learning needs of the child.
The curriculum is not adaptable.
Many traditional school environments are not designed around how children learn best, nor do they take into account that all children learn differently and at their own pace.

As with most parents, 2020 had us more closely scrutinizing back to school plans than ever before. The reality was we needed an educational system that offered creative solutions and could become rapidly adaptable to a constantly evolving environment. Seeds of Life Montessori stepped in and became just that. Unlike the majority of children who were simply getting by during a pandemic, my children were thriving in their new environment. The first thing we noticed was simply how eager my children were to get to school. They knew the exact minute we had to leave the house in order to be there at the very earliest possible. School was finally a fun experience for them!
