Montessori Daycare & Preschool in Hamilton Township

The values behind everything

Respect, independence, responsibility, potential, and critical thinking are the five words behind every day at The Montessori School of Hamilton. They appear in the freedom a child feels, in the calm order of each classroom, and in the way adults speak to children as capable people.

About our school

The Children's House is an all-day, extensive enrichment program for children from infancy through age six. Full-time and part-time programs are available, and expertly trained Montessori teachers use a method that prepares children for the challenges they will face tomorrow. Children choose their work from a carefully prepared room and practice concentration with hands-on materials, so the school day feels both free and purposeful.

A message from our Director

We believe each child is unique and follows a natural pathway of development. Preschool can enrich the social, cognitive, emotional, and physical parts of that growth all at once. As toddlers enter these important years, they need to be challenged; children are vulnerable, but curiosity prevails. Our job is to capture that curiosity and channel it in a way that benefits the child. Montessori classrooms are prepared solely with the child in mind. Age-appropriate activities draw on a child's innate desire to learn, and that inner drive is the basis of Montessori principles and methods. When children are free to explore and discover by themselves, they become independent learners in a safe and happy atmosphere. Even a couple of hours of preschool a week can make a dramatic difference in a child's life.
