A Nurturing Environment with Personalized Learning
We know children at this age acquire academic skills easily when the environment is carefully designed for them and learn most effectively when their experience allows them to make discoveries. Our teachers prepare and present lessons that lead to the child’s understanding through activities that are real, meaningful, and purposeful. Every activity lays a foundation for the next. Expert teachers work with children individually or in small groups at key developmental moments. Each child works with guidance at his or her own pace to feel both sufficiently challenged and successful. Our extraordinary learning materials, coupled with the guidance and observation of graduate-level trained teachers and their assistants, carefully guide children to acquire skills related to language, mathematics, science, geography, music, and art. The Montessori school day is not limited by fixed periods and stations for each subject. The child is inspired to explore and repeat the work as often as necessary for mastery.
Balanced Lifestyle
Learning in the classrooms is coupled with daily outdoor recess throughout the school year, laying the groundwork for healthy and active lives. We aim to ensure every child leaves this program prepared for the next level, whether that is a traditional first-grade or our Elementary program.
It is encouraging to see how the Wheaton Montessori School Preschool and Kindergarten program provides a harmonious and peaceful environment where the curriculum focuses on the individual needs of the child, fostering self-esteem, inner discipline, and a passion for lifelong learning. In this week's blog, we will explore what our Primary Program offers.

Priority enrollment will be granted to those who enroll before March 15. Our waitlist for kindergarten-9th grade for Fall 2025 is currently closed. Please check back in April to see if the waitlist is open then. Individual tours will only be offered for kindergarten through 9th grade if the waitlist is open.
