Franklin Montessori-Forest Hills

Best friends make every day brighter 💖 Moments of friendship like these are part of what makes our Franklin community so special!

Just steps from Rock Creek Park, our classroom expands into nature no matter the season! 🍁 Bundled up and ready to explore, our students discover that learning doesn’t stop when the weather turns cold 🥶

Before the costumes and candy… we wash our pumpkins! 🎃🧼 A little Montessori magic + a whole lot of fall fun 🍁✨ Wishing a very happy and safe Halloween to our wonderful Franklin family! 👻

Cookies + kindness = the perfect recipe! 🍪💕
Thanks to our amazing Franklin community, our Annual Fall Bake Sale raised $1,355.50 in support of City Dogs & City Kitties Rescue! 🐕‍🦺🐈🐾
We’re so grateful to everyone who baked, bought, and joined in the fun ❤️ We can’t wait for the children to present the donation check and see their impact in action!

Learning beyond the classroom! 🎃 Our students recently enjoyed a beautiful day ☀️ at Butler’s Orchard—experiencing autumn through hands-on exploration and joy 🍂

Independence starts with the little things✨ Peeling and slicing an egg 🥚 may seem simple, but in a Montessori classoom it builds focus, coordination, and confidence 🙌🏼

Sliding into weekend mode! 😃 Wishing our Franklin families a joyful and restful few days ahead 🎉

Wonder in the everyday! ✨ A simple stick can spark imagination, exploration, and joy in a Montessori toddler’s hands ☺️

During tummy time, babies strengthen their bodies and develop the focus and curiosity that our Montessori Infant program nurtures from the very beginning 🌟 That big smile says it all! 😄

Whooo’s hungry? 🦉 In a Montessori classroom, even snack time becomes a hands-on learning experience! Toddlers practiced independence, coordination, and creativity while making their own “owl snacks” with rice cakes, Nutella, bananas 🍌, apples🍎, cheese🧀, and blueberries🫐—yum! 😋

Space Camp is in full orbit at Franklin this summer! 🚀 🪐 🔭Our toddlers blasted off into learning about the sun ☀️and brought their discoveries to life with a beautiful art project 🎨 We love seeing their curiosity shine! ✨

Our summer students had a berry sweet time picking blueberries at Butler’s Orchard! 🫐 This hands-on adventure was the perfect way to combine summer fun with Montessori principles of exploration, independence, and connection to nature 💚🙌🏼💚
