About Our School
At Mountain Laurel Montessori, our mission is to foster a nurturing and equitable learning environment where children are inspired by the beauty and wisdom of nature. We are committed to the principles of Montessori education, guiding each child to reach their full potential through hands-on, experiential learning that respects their individuality. By integrating nature-based experiences into our curriculum, we aim to cultivate a deep connection to the environment, promoting sustainability, curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning. Our inclusive community embraces diversity and strives to empower every child to become compassionate, confident, and responsible global citizens.
Our Vision
Mountain Laurel Montessori envisions an equitable, nature-based school where children thrive outside every day and grow into innovative, empathetic individuals. Through a diverse and inclusive community, we prepare children to contribute meaningfully to a sustainable and harmonious world.
