Welcome to Eden Prairie Montessori!

Eden Prairie Montessori is a community of children, families and staff, all dedicated to the holistic development of children. Our hands-on approach and specially designed materials enable children to become independent learners and help them to achieve success in all areas of life as they grow. We foster a love of learning and provide a secure, warm and an enriching environment. 


Maintaining Constant Focus On Our Mission

Through the Montessori philosophy, we are committed to providing quality education and care for young children, preparing them to become responsible, respectful, and independent individuals with a passion for life-long learning. We use our mission as a driving factor for success in all that we do. We consider every child, their needs, their progress, and their success to create an attentive, personally tailored learning experience for all our students.


Facilitating Growth and Development

Through the Montessori philosophy, we are committed to providing quality education and care for young children, preparing them to become responsible, respectful, and independent individuals with a passion for life-long learning. We use our mission as a driving factor for success in all that we do.

Step-by-Step Growth and Trackable Progress

Each student is encouraged to progress at his or her own pace. This allows every child to master skills by working both individually and with their peers in small groups. By using materials and activities that are appropriate in terms of progress and abilities, your child will master their skills through repetition and recognition of their own mistakes.


Our Team

Our staff has been providing quality Montessori instruction to the Eden Prairie community for over 30 years. Each member of the  team is fully trained and credentialed to guide the growth and development of your children. We believe that by surrounding our students with highly qualified, specially trained professionals, each will reach his or her full potential from a cognitive, social, emotional, and physical perspective.

Each of our lead teachers must complete Montessori Certification under a credible Montessori training program that is recognized by the Department of Human Services, in addition to their teacher qualifications. Each staff member is also trained in CPR and First Aid, keeping your child safe at all times. Through ongoing training, we’re constantly improving our ability to care for and guide our students.


Montessori Difference

Unlike traditional teaching methods, the Montessori method gives children more independence to learn at their own pace and be active in their own knowledge-gathering. Children who learn through this method are shown to be more independent and inspired, often eclipsing students who go the more traditional route.


Infant (Nido)

It’s never too young to start learning! Our Infant program, nicknamed “Nido” (nest in Italian) helps infants from 6 weeks to 16 months to absorb positivity and knowledge as well as improve their motor skills.


Toddler 16m - 3 years

Our toddler programs are flexible and give students the ability to have freedom of choice while learning not just book knowledge, but the proper way to socially interact with their peers and teachers.

Preschool (Casa) 3-5 years

Meaning house in Italian, our “casa” preschool programs are meant to emulate a home environment. Students work together and learn at their own pace so they can become independent as they gather knowledge.


Kindergarten

Our all-day kindergarten program allows children to learn advanced skills that prepare them from a multi-dimensional perspective for the years of education they have ahead.



Summer

With the ability to take advantage of the great weather for outdoor learning and field trips, our summer programs are a great way to have your child learn and have fun at the same time.
