The Third Year Is Where the First Two Pay Off
Children who complete all three years of the Montessori cycle get the deepest benefit of the method: self-direction, concentration, and confidence that keeps building well past graduation.

Field Trips & Graduation Make It A Memorable Year
Kindergarteners enjoy outings to local farms and the theater in Frederick for experiences that connect learning with the wider world. At the end of the year, a graduation ceremony is a beautiful opportunity to celebrate all their achievements before the next big step.
Teachers Who've Guided This Transition for Years
Our Kindergarten teachers hold full AMS Montessori certification, and many have guided children through this exact year for 5 years or more. They know precisely how to challenge a child who’s ready for more, without ever making it feel like pressure, which is why so many families say Kindergarten is the year they see their child truly click.
What Parents Are Saying
About 800 families have trusted us since 2007. Most found us through another parent.
"Very thankful that we found Green Valley Montessori. The owners and teachers are kind, patient and very passionate about the Montessori education. We struggled with (homeschooling) pre-school and my daughter was resistant to reading, writing, finishing tasks, etc and she is absolutely thriving in all of these areas now that she is in Kindergarten here. She's developing healthy friendships, better manners and more patience at home. Highly recommend this school for any parent who is unsure about Montessori or who is looking for a school where their child will thrive!"
