Private Montessori Preschool for Ages 1–5 in Gilbert, AZ – Where curiosity grows, independence blooms, and every child is known by name.
From the simplest activities to more complex concepts, every lesson builds on the last.
Multi-age classrooms foster communication, cooperation, and social confidence.
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.
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.
