A Montessori Path for Every Stage of Growth
At Guiding Minds Montessori, we understand that choosing care for your child is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. Every child is unique, and every family deserves a place where they feel safe, supported, and truly known. Our programs are designed to meet children where they are, helping them grow at their own pace — while giving parents peace of mind that their child is in the best hands.

Infants
(18 months – under 2 years)
A gentle first step away from home, with a gradual phase-in and a warm, nurturing environment.
Space available: up to 4 infants, cared for in a small, calm environment alongside toddlers.

Toddlers
(2 – under 3 years)
Hands-on learning that builds confidence, independence, and joy in discovery. For families moving up from our Infant Program, we guarantee a spot, making the transition smooth and familiar.
Space available: up to 10 toddlers in a warm, welcoming environment where they can explore freely and safely.

Before & After School Care
(School Age Children)
For many families, the school day starts earlier or ends later than classroom hours. Our before and after school program offers a safe, supportive space where children can start their day calmly and end it with friends.
Available for: infants through school-age children, with transportation for select local schools.
