Our Mission
The early years of a child’s life have a great influence on their mind and personality. Children have a natural desire to grow, to know, and understand the world around them. They learn to their highest potential when they are involved in meaningful and interesting activities, hence the importance of placing them in the right environment to encourage this process.
Montessori schools educate children in a spirit of partnership and peace – inspiring a sense of wonder, and nurturing children’s natural curiosity, creativity, and imagination.
At Smart Start Montessori we are passionate about giving your child the best possible start in their school life. Our classrooms are specially prepared to meet the changing needs of the children. The classrooms are clean, bright, and spacious featuring beautifully crafted Montessori materials. Children start at 18 months in our toddler room and continue until 6 years of age in our Casa classroom.
Experienced and Caring Teachers
Our dedicated teachers are senior professionals with many years of experience, coupled with an education from the top Montessori training centers around the world, such as the Montessori Teachers College (MTC), and Association Montessori Internationale (AMI).

“Smart Start Montessori is a great school with very kind and caring teachers, good facilities and programs. My husband and I were both so impressed with how much our daughter has learned through the application of Montessori education from this school. She has gained a passion for learning. She enjoys reading, writing, drawing, etc. She loves to go to school every day. I would definitely recommend this school to anyone interested in Montessori.”

“My daughter went to Smart Start Montessori School since last year. She likes the school and the teachers so much. The teachers love the children a lot and that makes my daughter feels it's like a family in a home. We especially want to thank Alicia Gomez who is my daughter's teacher in Casa 3. We can feel she loves and takes care of children really with her heart. She is so patient and pays attention to details.... We would definitely recommend Smart Start to any parents and their children!”
