Lighthouse Montessori School

Lighthouse Montessori School Lighthouse Montessori is a private school serving Toddlers 18 months through 6th grade elementary.

Lighthouse Montessori School is an independent private school Teaching Authentic Montessori Education to children 3 years of age through 6th-grade Elementary. Our goal at LMS is to educate through the Montessori approach which addresses the intellectual, social, emotional, and physical needs of each child. Our caring staff and low student-teacher ratios ensure that all Lighthouse Montessori studen

ts have easy access to their teachers, have a curriculum customized to meet their individual educational needs, and are learning at their own accelerated pace. The philosophy of the Lighthouse Montessori School community is the encouragement of the child's interest and curiosity, and the development of responsible, independent thinking that fosters a life-long love of learning. One of the greatest strengths of the school is the trained and qualified teachers who take a personal interest in their students and parents. They care about the whole person and see education as much more than simply the training of fine minds. These dedicated teachers form the foundation of a caring community in which children develop and learn to become responsible, loving human beings.

Across all of our classrooms, children participate in food preparation in ways that are appropriate for their age and stage of development. They wash, cut, peel, pour, mix, spread, serve, and clean up after themselves.

These simple, meaningful experiences give children the opportunity to practice independence, coordination, concentration, responsibility, and care for their community. They also experience the satisfaction that comes from doing something real and useful for themselves and for others.

Art is the process of exploration, self-expression, concentration, and discovery. Children are given the freedom to choose materials, experiment with techniques, make mistakes, and bring their own ideas to life.

In Montessori, we don’t focus on creating a “perfect” product. We value the child’s process, their choices, their creativity, and the joy they find in creating. Art becomes another way for children to develop independence, confidence, coordination, and a deeper understanding of the world around them.

In our Early Childhood classroom, children are busy building the foundations for a lifetime of learning. From exploring math and language to practicing practical life skills, each work invites children to focus, problem solve, and gain confidence.

Montessori gives children the freedom to learn at their own pace while developing independence, concentration, and a genuine love of learning.

From toddlers exploring their environment, to Early Childhood students learning through hands on activities, to Elementary students developing new skills and independence, we give children opportunities to learn through real experiences and meaningful work.

Our 40 acre campus offers countless opportunities to connect with nature, explore, move, and discover, while our classrooms provide beautiful spaces for focused, purposeful learning.

We believe children thrive when they have the freedom to follow their curiosity and learn in ways that feel meaningful to them. 🤍

At Lighthouse Montessori School, nature is one of our greatest classrooms. 🌿

From outdoor lessons and hands-on exploration to caring for the animals on our beautiful 40-acre campus, we embrace the natural world as an important part of the Montessori experience. Our students love spending time with our sheep, llamas, bunnies, chickens, cats, and dogs. To top it all off, every Friday, they look forward to Forest Friday, where we spend as much time as possible learning and exploring outdoors.

In our classroom, engineering isn’t about blueprints. it’s about curiosity, creativity, and problem solving. Whether stacking blocks, balancing structures, or designing with magnetic tiles, these young minds are exploring concepts like stability, symmetry, and design through hands on play.

We see trial and error, teamwork, persistence, and pride in every build. These moments may look like simple play, but they are laying the foundation for critical thinking and innovation.

The work of little engineers is important work.
