Programs

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.

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.

Summer Camp

(8 weeks)

Summer should be full of adventure, creativity, and play. Our camp offers a mix of outdoor fun, water play, crafts, special guests, and hands-on projects that spark curiosity. Current families have priority, with limited spots open to the community for children 4+.

Our Learning Spaces

Each classroom is designed to match the needs of its age group, but children move based on readiness, not just age:
