There’s something special about growing up Montessori.
At Wildflower Montessori, we believe education is about so much more than preparing a child for the next grade. It’s about nurturing the whole child. Their curiosity, confidence, independence, kindness, creativity and love of learning.
As we prepare to begin another school year, our goal is bigger than simply guiding and teaching the children in our classroom. We want to support, encourage and nurture our families and our community too. Because when children are surrounded by a strong, connected community, they thrive. 🤍
Our Montessori environment gives children the freedom to learn at their own pace, the confidence to try things for themselves and the opportunity to develop real-world skills that stay with them far beyond the classroom. From practical life and Grace & Courtesy to hands-on academics, purposeful work, outdoor exploration and learning alongside children of different ages. Every part of the prepared environment is intentional.
After 10 years of Wildflower Montessori, we are incredibly proud of what we have created here in Florence.
For a decade, we’ve had the privilege of watching little hands become capable hands, quiet confidence grow into independence and curious children become excited, capable learners and great friends.
We are proud to bring something truly special to Florence and the surrounding communities and we hope to continue growing alongside our children and families for many years to come.
Come see what makes Montessori different and Wildflower unique.

Summer camp Week 6: Time Traveler

This week we traveled back in time to explore some exciting moments from the past! Our journey began in the prehistoric era, where we learned all about dinosaurs, the landscapes they lived in, and what life may have been like millions of years ago. We became paleontologists and dug dinosaurs out of clay eggs which was a fun (and messy!) hands on project. We also created dinosaur art and made our own dino bead necklaces. Next, we traveled along the Oregon Trail, learning about the incredible journey early settlers made, how they traveled, what challenges they faced and how they survived. To bring history to life, we made our own Oregon Trail trail mix together. Our final stop was the California Gold Rush. We discovered why thousands of people flocked to California in search of fortune and became prospectors ourselves, panning for gold and experiencing a small piece of history firsthand.

Summer Camp Week 5: Construction Zone

This week, our camp transformed into a construction site! We wore hard hats and safety vests and learned about the many different careers involved in building. We explored heavy equipment and talked about how people design and create structures like bridges, skyscrapers, and houses. Throughout the week, we completed theme related art projects and practiced engineering skills by designing and building with cups and popsicle sticks. The kids really used their imaginations in all they did. To wrap up, each camper created their own construction zone sensory bin to bring home.
The weather was so great we even got to enjoy a few outside picnics and ended the week with a popsicle party!

Summer Camp Week 4: Animal Planet
What an amazing week exploring the animal kingdom! Our campers learned about different types of animals and discovered which animals live on land, in the sea and in the air. We also explored the continents of the world and learned about the habitats where animals call home. The children expressed their creativity through a variety of animal-themed art projects, including colorful animal sun catchers and imaginative "animal mash-up" creations where they combined two animals to invent an entirely new species! The highlight of the week was picking an animal, naming it and carefully building a habitat for it to live in.

Summer Camp Week 3: Little Chefs

What an incredible week of learning, creating and cooking! Our Little Chefs camp was about so much more than baking delicious treats it was a hands-on adventure in nutrition and life skills. Throughout the week, we explored the importance of healthy eating by learning about the different food groups and how to build a balanced plate. We discovered different flavor profiles by tasting and talking about sweet, salty and sour foods and even discussed how our taste buds help us experience food. Our young chefs made healthy protein balls and learned what each ingredient gives your body. They baked and decorated their own mini cakes, created colorful rainbow fruit cups and made personal mini pizzas before enjoying them together in our very own pretend Italian restaurant, complete with Italian music playing in the background and plenty of opportunities to practice grace, courtesy and good table manners. The learning continued beyond the kitchen! We explored measuring, kitchen safety and the many tools chefs use every day. Using clay, we strengthened our fine motor skills by practicing rolling, cutting and shaping. We practiced spreading by having bagels and cream cheese one day for snack. All of which are important skills that transfer right into real cooking. We also shared our favorite foods and expressed our creativity through food-inspired art projects. Each child received their very own chef's apron, hat, whisk and spatula to take home and continue their love for helping in the kitchen.
A huge thank you to Miss Ashlyn, who spent the week with us sharing her passion and knowledge. As a student studying Nutrition and Dietetics at OSU, she brought so much enthusiasm and valuable information to our classroom. We are incredibly grateful she took the time to inspire our little chefs!

Summer Camp Week 2: Green Thumb
We had a fun week of digging, planting, creating and growing! Our campers learned about the seasons, the plant life cycle and all the wonderful things we can grow in a garden from fruits and vegetables to herbs and flowers. We planted seeds, worked in our greenhouse and garden, decorated flower pots, created flower-inspired art and painted our own special rocks. As a class we designed a garden and then campers had a chance to design their own dream garden. Each child went home with garden tools to continue their love for planting!

🌺 Aloha, Summer! 🌺
What an incredible first week of summer camp at Wildflower Montessori! Our Aloha Summer theme brought the spirit of the islands right into our classroom through hands-on learning, creativity, and lots of fun. Campers explored Polynesian culture by creating beautiful leis, colorful hibiscus sun catchers, and their very own tiki sculptures. We enjoyed interactive themed snacks, including ocean Jell-O cups, banana sushi, palm tree-building snacks, and delicious tropical fruit smoothies. One of the highlights of the week was a special visit from Miss Kristen's cousin, Shaun, who joined us from Hawaii's Big Island. He shared stories about the Hawaiian Islands and taught us about three important Hawaiian spirit animals—the shark, sea turtle, and gecko. The children loved asking questions and learning about life in Hawaii from someone who calls it home! We can't wait to see what adventures the rest of our summer camp season brings!

The 2025–2026 school year was one to remember. This year brought its share of challenges, but it also brought so many victories, countless moments of growth and lessons that taught us all something valuable. We watched friendships blossom, confidence grow, and children discover just how capable they are.
As we look back on these class photos from the last day of school, we're filled with gratitude for every child, family, and memory that made this year so special. Thank you for being part of the journey. We can't wait to see what comes next for these amazing wildflowers!
