When people think about play, they often think about fun.
But through play, children are learning so much more.
They're building friendships, solving problems, developing confidence, exploring new ideas and learning about the world around them.
Here are a few moments from everyday life at Growing Stars Montessori

Meet Carey!

Growing Stars Montessori was created from Carey’s vision of building a preschool that feels warm, welcoming and connected to nature, while supporting children as they develop independence, curiosity and a genuine love of learning.
Over the years, Carey has carefully created an environment designed to help children thrive emotionally, socially and academically through hands on learning and meaningful experiences each day.
