Home-based bilingual Montessori preschool
cache/wst.opf.717933.xml
We are a home-based Montessori preschool for children age 24 months through kindergarten in the Natick area (routes 9 and 27).
The program is based on the philosophy of Dr. Maria Montessori (1870-1952). She revolutionized early childhood education by advocating that children be allowed the freedom to explore and develop their own creative potential through a wealth of self-teaching educational materials.

Our mission
Montessori House promotes bilingual at all ages. We provide a nurturing and a carefully planned, stimulating learning environment which will help the children to:
- Become bilingual in the early school years.
- Increase their awareness about other languages and cultures.
- Nurture the curiosity, creativity, and imagination born within us all.
- Awaken the human spirit of every child.
Our goal is to inspire a passion for excellence and a lifelong love for learning.
Our objectives at Montessori House:
The focus of this program is to help the children achieve their fullest potential and mental ability by carefully preparing a learning environment to meet the children's needs. Children use materials designed to assist growth in sensorial, language, mathematics, practical Life and cultural education.
Montessori House
Our home-based preschool is a typical Montessori environment carefully prepared to entice the children to learn and explore.
- The educational equipments include hands-on mathematical materials and activities to develop the children’s sensory perceptions and refine their sense of awareness. Many exercises are designed to allow young children to practice skills they will need for daily living and self-help.
- The materials are placed on easy to reach open shelves and the children are given the freedom to choose and explore concepts or ideas that are of interest to them.
- At Montessori House, there is a curriculum, routine and structure that contribute to an environment conducive to learning.
