About Montessori Preschool Program (Ages 2-6)
Why I Do This
I want kids to love learning, not just do it for the sake of a test. At Chimes Montessori, I've spent years creating a space where children feel safe, seen, and excited to show up. I see each child as their own person, and my job is to help them find their own pace.
How the Space Feels
The classroom is set up so it teaches, even when I’m not talking. It’s calm and organized, with everything in its place. Kids from different ages learn together - younger ones watch and pick up stuff from the older children, and the older kids get to help out and really own what they know. This mixed-age Montessori classroom setup creates a real sense of community.
What Kids Actually Do
It’s not just play. Kids do practical life activities for preschoolers - pouring, cleaning, folding, dressing themselves, even making snacks. These things sound simple but they build up real skills and confidence.
When Learning Gets Academic
I introduce language and math when each child is ready. We use hands-on Montessori math materials, tactile letters, and games that actually make sense to little ones. For culture, we plant seeds, mess with puzzle maps, and get curious about animals.
Growing Up, Not Just Getting Smarter
Social skills in Montessori preschool matter here. I show kids how to be kind, how to listen, and how to move through the day with respect for themselves and others. Art, dance, and yoga are part of our daily rhythm - not just extra stuff. This way, kids leave ready for anything, inside and out.

My Story
We’re Chimes Montessori. Been at this for 10+ years, and honestly, every day still feels new. We started Chimes because we wanted school to feel like home, somewhere kids aren’t rushed—just respected. Here, their questions lead the way. Parents say their kids want to come even on weekends! That’s our biggest win. For us, it’s about protecting that spark in every child. That’s the Chimes way.
My Work
Montessori Programs for 2-6 Year Olds - We offer Early Years Montessori program and a special Afternoon Batch, both rooted in hands-on Montessori activities.
Child-Led, Real Montessori Method - No noisy classrooms. We guide, not lecture. Kids explore, choose, and learn at their own pace.
Learning with Heart - It’s not just ABCs. We mix in art, music, yoga, and Grace and Courtesy lessons for emotional intelligence.
Feels Like a Second Home - Our space is safe, calm, and nurturing. Teachers and parents work together so every child feels they belong.
