Learning that Grows with Your Child

From the simplest activities to more complex concepts, every lesson builds on the last.

Building Skills for Life

Multi-age classrooms foster communication, cooperation, and social confidence.

Independence from the Start

Montessori is more than childcare—it’s a place where children choose work that inspires curiosity, develops focus, and builds a lifelong love of learning.

See Our Preschool in Action

At San Tan Montessori’s Private Preschool, we follow Dr. Maria Montessori’s philosophy to create a calm, joyful space where young learners thrive. Our classrooms combine hands-on Montessori materials, music, and the proven Love and Logic® approach to help children grow in both skills and character. Every activity is designed to meet children where they are, encouraging independence, curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning.stcs_montessori

Outdoor Environment & Carter’s Farm Visit

At San Tan Montessori Preschool, learning doesn’t stop at the classroom door. Our outdoor environment activities help children strengthen their connection with nature and community through hands-on exploration.

  • Seasonal gardening and tending to our Montessori hens

  • Outdoor classwork that encourages curiosity and independence

  • Science projects like studying plant growth and observing seasonal changes

  • Harvesting, preparing, and enjoying food grown by the children

Twice a month, Carter’s Farm visits our campus, bringing a variety of farm animals for students to interact with. These experiences spark wonder, teach responsibility, and build social skills through teamwork and conversation.

The Love and Logic® Approach

We use Love and Logic® to help children develop responsibility, problem-solving skills, and respect for others.

Core Skills Taught:

  • Neutralizing arguments with calm communication

  • Guiding children to solve their own problems

  • Offering choices to prevent power struggles

  • Setting respectful, enforceable limits

  • Building strong teacher–student relationships

Parent Partnership

We believe parents are a child’s first and most important teacher. We keep communication open, provide progress updates, and work with you to support your child’s social, emotional, and academic growth.
