Little Scout Montessori

Nurturing curiosity and independence through hands-on learning, connection and joy.

Projected to open Fall 2026

We are warm and fuzzy. We believe in slowing down, exploring, and allowing time for wonder. We value play, time in nature, and connection. We live the Montessori philosophy; we provide a beautifully prepared environment that invites children to experience meaningful work. We observe, invite, and respect our young students. We are so excited to build this joyful community with you.
