Full Circle Montessori School

Join us this Saturday for our Annual Community Yard Sale featuring children’s clothes, toys, books, furniture, housewares, and so much more.

Come treasure hunt, connect with our community and neighbors, and support a meaningful cause — get a little, give a little.

Proceeds benefit Friends of Montessori Education, a nonprofit organization dedicated to expanding access to private Montessori education for children and families.

We hope to see you there!

Our team spent the day preparing the environment, collaborating, and thoughtfully planning for the year ahead — all in service of the children and families we are so lucky to work alongside each day. From refreshing classroom spaces to deepening our work together as a team, we are excited to begin another year of growth, discovery, and connection!

A peek into our week here at Full Circle Montessori School!

Today’s Throwback Thursday features our Elementary Classroom Assistant Anna Grady! Reflecting on her time here at Full Circle, Ms. Grady shared this “I love Full Circle Montessori School because it is a place where children are truly seen, valued, and respected as capable individuals. There’s something really special about being part of a community that nurtures not just learning, but also kindness, curiosity, and confidence. It’s an environment where growth feels natural and joyful, and that’s what makes it such a meaningful place to be every day.”

Looking for an Elementary Experience That Goes Beyond Worksheets and Test Prep?
At Full Circle Montessori School, our Elementary program is designed for children who are curious, capable, imaginative, and ready for meaningful learning.
Rather than memorizing information, children explore big ideas, collaborate on real work, engage in research and projects, build independence, and develop confidence as members of a vibrant learning community.
What makes our Elementary program unique?
• Hands-on, interdisciplinary learning
• Strong academics woven with creativity and purpose
• Mixed-age classrooms that foster leadership and collaboration
• Opportunities for responsibility, community engagement, and independence
• A child-centered environment that nurtures curiosity and intrinsic motivation
Join us for an upcoming Open House on May 18 from 5:30 - 6:30pm to learn more about:
•What Elementary really looks like
• How children grow in confidence and responsibility
• Why families are choosing Montessori beyond Primary
• How we prepare children not just for school — but for life

Reflecting on her time at Full Circle, Mrs. Marshall shared how much she values the strong sense of community where families come together to truly enjoy their children, support one another, and grow side by side. From the classroom to leading a Full Circle T-Ball team, these connections are what make our community so special!

Golden voices, glowing firelight, and a whole lot of joy 🔥
There’s something powerful about children singing in unison—one song, one rhythm, one shared moment.

In every chorus, they’re building community, creating connection, and experiencing the simple magic of coming together

So grateful for these moments—and the community that makes them possible!

At Full Circle Montessori School, Earth Day isn’t a moment—it’s a mindset.

From using real materials (instead of plastic or paper) to composting and repurposing, children learn that their choices matter. We don’t just talk about caring for the Earth—we practice it, every day. Come see for yourself! Schedule a tour.
