Our Core Beliefs
At LEAP Montessori, we combine Montessori principles with nurturing relationships, small class sizes, and a warm, family-centered environment where every child is known and loved
Preschool experiences should be fun, wholesome and exciting. Our goal at LEAP Montessori is to ensure your child has a wonderful day every day. Our learning activities are set in a warm and friendly environment that fosters social emotional development.
Positive, nurturing relationships between our students and teachers are the cornerstone of our program. We create nurturing and peaceful environments so that our children feel safe, loved and protected while they are in our care.
Health and Safety is a top priority at LEAP Montessori. Our teachers are First Aid and CPR certified and take state approved Health and Safety trainings every year to ensure we are implementing the safest environment possible for our students.
Our staff meet state mandated qualification requirements and update their knowledge on early childhood education throughout the year by attending conferences and training. Our staff are teachable and eager to learn along with our students.
Individualized Learning
LEAP Montessori schools are play based. We focus on providing children with an authentic childhood. We schedule blocks of free time for children to play and discover the things that interest them. We encourage children to develop autonomy and a sense of responsibility for their own growth, learning and creativity. Our play based programs also ensure that children have ample time to develop interests across all domains.
Our teachers individualize each child’s learning goals with parent input to ensure cognitive growth and development. We focus on getting all preschoolers ready for Kindergarten while also providing activities that interest them. Children learn best when their learning materials are interesting, educational and creative. We offer a wide variety of Montessori-inspired activities, art projects, and sensory experiences.
Research shows that children learn best and are able to take risks and explore when they have secure home and school relationships. Our teachers take the time to model loving and nurturing relationships with each child in our care. Our teachers use problem solving techniques to help children build relationships with each other that will help develop friendship bonds, strengthening their social emotional development and self-confidence.
What Makes Leap Montessori Different/Our core beliefs
That means:
We honor child-led learning, independence, and respect
We adapt materials and lessons to the child — not the other way around
We blend Montessori with play-based, relationship-driven learning
For families, this looks like children who are learning with joy, not pressure.
At LEAP Montessori, connection is the foundation of learning.
We prioritize:
Emotional safety
Consistent caregivers
Responsive, nurturing interactions
Children learn best when they feel seen and secure — especially in the early years. We intentionally build those relationships before academic expectations.
You won’t just see children working quietly at tables.
You’ll also see:
Collaborative play
Problem-solving with peers
Hands-on exploration
Practical life skills woven into the day
We believe learning should feel meaningful, active, and connected to real life.
We meet children where they are, not where a checklist says they “should” be.
This means:
No pushing academics before children are ready
Respect for different developmental timelines
Support for social-emotional growth alongside cognitive skills
Parents often tell us their children feel confident and capable, not rushed.
We value:
Open communication with families
Transparency through tools like Brightwheel
A true partnership between home and school
Families know what’s happening in their child’s day — and why.
LEAP Montessori feels like a community, not an institution.
Children are known by name
Families are welcomed and valued
Teachers are supported, present, and engaged
That culture shows in how children treat one another — with kindness, confidence, and curiosity.
We help children grow confident, curious, and socially capable through Montessori-inspired, individualized learning.
Montessori philosophy encourages children to become confident, self-motivated learners through hands-on exploration and independence. It supports growth across all areas of development while nurturing each child’s natural curiosity, love of learning, and respect for others.
At LEAP Montessori, these principles are implemented in a way that is developmentally appropriate, relationship-driven, and responsive to each child as an individual.
