About Us

Welcome to the First Presbyterian Montessori School, where we have been nurturing young minds since 1976. Our school was founded with a vision to offer hands-on, interactive education for children in their most formative years, following the philosophy of Dr. Maria Montessori.

Dr. Montessori, a pioneer in child development, emphasized the importance of experiential learning over rote memorization. At FPC Montessori, we wholeheartedly embrace this philosophy, creating an environment where children are encouraged to explore, discover, and learn at their own pace.

Our exceptional staff is dedicated to providing a nurturing and supportive atmosphere where every child feels valued and empowered. Our bright and open classrooms are carefully designed to stimulate curiosity and creativity. We believe that a conducive environment plays a crucial role in a child's learning journey, which is why we prioritize creating spaces that inspire exploration and growth.

We believe in nurturing not only the intellectual but also the spiritual and emotional development of our students, preparing them to become compassionate and responsible members of society.
