Eden Prairie Montessori Learning Center

"My kids are loved and in turn love their school." Margo's family has been with us for five years...from infancy through preschool. 💜 When families stay with a school through multiple stages of their child’s development, it says a lot.

Thank you, Margo, for sharing your experience with our community:

“My kids have been to this school for almost 5 years from infancy to preschool and it has been an excellent experience. The staff is receptive of feedback, the teachers are caring & patient. They have very good retention/tenure. My kids are loved and in turn love their school!”

— Margo, Happy Eden Prairie Montessori Parent

One of the things we’re most proud of at Eden Prairie Montessori is the consistency our families experience, from caring teachers to long-tenured staff who truly get to know each child.

A super simple way to bring Montessori into your home...invite your child to participate in daily life. What do we mean?

In Montessori, everyday activities are just as valuable as traditional “learning” tasks. Cooking, cleaning, and caring for the home all help children develop coordination, responsibility and a sense of belonging.

Rather than setting up special activities, look for ways to include your child in what you’re already doing.

They can:
- Help wash fruits and vegetables
- Wipe the table after meals
- Sort laundry or carry small items
- Water plants

Real work builds confidence.

These moments may seem simple, but they are rich with learning. Children feel capable and included when they contribute to meaningful tasks, and that sense of purpose is incredibly powerful.

Small opportunities today create confident, capable children tomorrow.

Why does family-owned matter? Our intentionally small class sizes allow us to cultivate individualized attention for each child, deep relationships with each family, and the quality Montessori education we’re known for.

At Eden Prairie Montessori, we’re proud to be family-owned and locally operated

🌱 Every child is known.
🌱 Every family matters.

How do we prepare children for a future we can’t predict? By helping them develop resilience. Here's how...

In Montessori, children are given the space to struggle, problem-solve, and learn from mistakes rather than having every challenge solved for them.

Over time, they discover something powerful:

“I can figure this out.”

That confidence becomes the foundation of resilience.

We can’t predict the future. But we can help our children develop the skills they’ll need to thrive in it.

The greatest sign of success for a teacher is to be able to say, ‘The children are now working as if I did not exist.’ —Maria Montessori

"Dr Montessori was not just creating a method of education; she was creating a path for peace.

Peace, in the Montessori sense, is not just about resolving conflict. It’s about helping the child come to peace with themselves, with others, and with the environment. And, not surprisingly, Dr Montessori was nominated six times for the Nobel Peace Prize." From: The Montessori Notebook

Hear from an Eden Prairie parent why family-owned makes a difference!

"Eden Prairie Montessori was an extension of our family...the teachers have huge hearts and love for the children. An important thing for us was the teachers have been there for years and Shonali, the owner, as I write this has been for 32 yrs. She runs an amazing center and along with staff, are truly passionate about teaching children the building blocks and steppingstones to be prepared to enter school." -Aaron Davis, Happy Eden Prairie Montessori Parent

When teachers stay for years and families feel at home, children benefit. That’s the difference a dedicated, family-owned Montessori school can make. Learn more on our website.

Our schools will be getting together this week for a Picnic in the Park! We are so excited to celebrate the friendships, memories, and connections that make Eden Prairie Montessori so special.

A Montessori classroom feels more like a home than a school...

You won’t see desks, nor will a teacher stand at the front of the room delivering a lesson to the whole class. Instead, you’ll see children happily working individually or in small groups, at tables or on the floor near small mats that delineate their own space.

Specially designed learning materials are displayed on open shelves, easily accessible to the children. Classrooms also include low sinks accessible to the children, child-sized furniture, cozy spaces for quiet reading, reachable shelves with work available for free choice, and child-sized kitchen utensils so the students can eat, prepare, and clean up their snack on their own.

Teachers gently guide students to help maintain the organization and cleanliness of this environment to keep it orderly and attractive, and to help your child understand how to care for materials and clean up after themselves, developing skills you will be happy to observe carrying over in your home!
