About MCS

Compassionate guides. Curious, capable children.

At Montessori Children's School we strike a balance between structured group lessons and independent discovery. Our teachers observe each child individually, working one-on-one to follow their interests while a monthly curriculum keeps the whole community learning together.

What our families say.

“Our son came from another preschool, and we saw a positive change in his behavior almost immediately after starting at MCS. Each classroom is organized, calm, and spotless — a true Montessori school that stays authentic to the philosophy.”
— Kristin I.
“The teachers are exceptional — patient, caring, and truly dedicated to each child's development. The director is always attentive, approachable, and fully informed. A nurturing community where children flourish and parents feel fully supported.”
— Paulina Z.
“We had 3 children go through the program. They treat the children like they are their own. The staff felt like family — owners do their best to make this preschool feel like a home away from home.”
— Rachel Y.
“My son has attended since he was 18 months and he loves going every morning. Mrs. Galina is overwhelmingly kind and treats the kids like her own. Very safe, fun, welcoming, and loving environment.”
— Gerry Z.
“Not just caretakers — passionate educators who genuinely care about each child's development. The Montessori curriculum laid a fantastic foundation and made the transition to preschool smooth and enjoyable.”
— Mike B.
“My two boys have absolutely thrived here. Every teacher has gone above and beyond to help them succeed. Galina and Oleg plan great experiences — field trips, classroom guests, holiday celebrations, and a graduation ceremony. The best preschool experience we could have imagined.”
