About us

A calm beginning, a strong foundation, and a lifelong love of learning.

Nuthatch Montessori is a complete re-launch of the former Memorial Montessori campus. Under new ownership and management, we have rebuilt the school from the ground up : new prepared environments, new furniture, new teachers, and a renewed commitment to authentic Montessori education.

Our Mission

Our mission is to nurture independence, responsibility, concentration, and respect in every child. We believe children thrive when they are trusted, supported, and given the freedom to grow within a predictable and well-prepared environment. Every decision we make is centered on the developmental needs of the child.

Our Montessori Philosophy

Nuthatch Montessori follows authentic Montessori principles that honor each child’s individual development. Learning is hands-on and child-centered, allowing children to engage deeply with materials that meet their readiness and interests. Freedom is balanced with clear boundaries, helping children develop confidence, self-regulation, and a strong sense of responsibility toward themselves, others, and their environment.

Partnership with Families

We view education as a partnership between school and family. Open communication, shared expectations, and mutual respect are essential to a child’s success. Families are encouraged to stay engaged, ask questions, and work collaboratively with our team to support their child’s growth.

Communications & Updates

Clear, respectful communication is essential to a strong school community. Nuthatch Montessori communicates primarily through the Brightwheel app, providing updates on daily activities, schedules, and school-wide information. Families are expected to follow school policies, communicate respectfully, and maintain a collaborative relationship with staff. We welcome parent involvement and maintain an open-door policy within state licensing guidelines.
