As a traditional Montessori school, we follow the protocol of the daily 3-hour work cycle in all of our programs. This precious time is held for students to become completely engaged in their work and occurs between 8:30 am and 11:30 am every day. This is prime time for our students when their minds are fresh and at their peak for absorbing information. At St. Peter’s Montessori School, we are dedicated to protecting our students work cycles and avoid external activities during this time so the children may normalize the work cycle into their routines. Our goal is for the children to feel supported in reaching a state of peaceful, calm, satisfying activity in which they are completely engaged. What we see is each child deeply involved in their work, collaborating, and working alongside their guides with peace, joy, and unity. What do you see?

Did you know St. Peter’s Montessori school is a non-profit? The main benefit to families of choosing a non-profit private school for your child, is always staying focused on the mission! Our school was formed in 1964 with a mission to make Montessori education accessible because we truly believe it can heal the world. When we make decisions, they are always drawn back to this purpose. No shareholders, no corporate board rooms, no distractions that keep us from focusing on our number one goal, bringing out the best in your child!
The Nido I program starts at 3 months of age and children stay in Nido I until they are expert walkers! This classroom is for newly walking toddlers who have just started to explore the world in vertical.
Limited space is available in Nido I. Visit our bio or stpetersmontessori.com to schedule a tour!

Hi-five to our lower elementary student who mastered long addition and moved on to subtraction today! He is using the Bead Frame to solve math problems, and is pretty happy about it!
Montessori teaches children how to ask “why”:
Montessori materials in elementary math turn abstract concepts into tangible, hands-on experiences, enabling children to understand the “why” behind operations through sensory manipulation. Using color-coded, concrete materials like Golden Beads, Stamp Games, and Bead Frames, students build a deep, logical understanding of place value, arithmetic, and fractions before moving to abstract, paper-pencil calculation.
These hands-on methods reach far beyond the classroom and give children problem solving skills to use for life by teaching them first how to observe the problem! Come see the difference a Montessori education can make for your elementary student and book a tour of our school today!

Announcing Our Infant Classroom - The Featherfins!
We are very pleased and excited to announce the opening of our infant classroom! Dr. Montessori understood the value of a prepared environment to aid the most fundamental period of life from birth to 3 years of age. Montessori environments meet the needs of infants by fostering a sense of belonging, independence, and language acquisition while children are developing core personality, social skills, and human values. We are delighted to provide an environment where infants may thrive!
The infant classroom expands our Nido I Program which houses both infants and early toddlers. We are delighted to introduce Rosela Martinez, our Nido I Lead Guide, to our campus! Rosela is a passionate Montessori educator with 4 years serving in Montessori classrooms and parent who brings a wealth of knowledge and caring touch to this very important program!
Limited space is available for children 3 - 18 months in the Nido I program. Help us spread the word within your community about the opportunity to enroll while space is available!
And off we go to learn and grow!

Our Kindergartner caught in a candid moment while arranging flowers in the Children’s House classroom. By arranging flowers, children learn to make choices, follow steps, and appreciate the beauty of nature. This activity is not only educational, but also fosters a sense of responsibility and respect for the natural world.

Dr. Montessori was a crusader for peace. She understood that our shared desire as humans is to be at peace and that it starts with our children. World Peace Day is one of our treasured celebrations at St. Peter’s Montessori. On this day we pause to acknowledge our oneness with the world and ourselves. The children gather to walk our labyrinth while singing a song of peace. May we find peace in the world and within ourselves!

Why is the verb a red circle in Montessori? 🔴✨
Maria Montessori chose a red sphere as the symbol for the verb because it represents movement and energy. Think of a ball that’s always ready to roll!
The shape and color are also a nod to the sun, the source of energy for all life on Earth, just as verbs bring sentences to life.
In Montessori classrooms, children see, touch, and even roll this symbol to understand that verbs are all about action. We also play lots of games to help children experience the activity that verbs bring: Jump! Sing! Giggle! Hop! Prance! Skip! Roll!
Grammar comes to life in Montessori classrooms! Come see for yourself! Book a tour at our school today: https://www.stpetersmontessori.com/schedule-a-tour

We are adoring this sweet real life capture of “freedom within limits” brought to us by a student of our toddler community! To the Montessorian, exercising her independence to choose her attire is an indication of a creative mind at work as she not only explores her world but builds the world around her! Actively participating in choices that affect you, even at the tender age of 2 years old, creates a sense of ownership and security, and a foundation for a lifetime of self-assurance! What looks like a simple mis-match is a cue that the child is actively exploring her individuality and we love it!

We are applauding our four year old learner who started writing numbers with paper and pencil this week! Jaiveen joined St. Peter’s Montessori School when he was 3 years old. Since then we’ve seen him bloom by leaps and bounds. His young mind is curious and thirsty for knowledge. Our guides are trained to observe each child intently and introduce new concepts when queues are present. With Montessori, the foundation for this exercise is built early on in the Nido classroom where young toddlers learn to properly hold utensils in preparation for later holding a pencil. Each activity is carefully thought out and planned. Guides in each classroom work together to prepare a child for the next advancement in learning. In this case Jaiveen and his Lead Guide, Ms. Kathy, have developed a relationship of communication that enables Ms. Kathy to identify the subtle queues and creates an environment of comfort and security for Jaiveen to try new things. Hi-Five Ms. Kathy and Jaiveen!
Open enrollment for 2025-26 is here! If you are considering Montessori school for your child, visit our website to take a tour of St. Peter’s: stpetersmontessori.com

This morning we walked into our primary classroom and caught the sweetest moment where one of our 3 year olds, not even quite 3 ft. tall, was using the basin to wash, rinse and place snack mats on a drying rack. She was dressed in an apron and using a brush to clean the last mat. Normally an image like this is seen after an adult has come through to clean up after littles. In our classrooms children are taught practical life skills that build their confidence and sense of purpose. Yet today watching this sweet child cleaning her classmates mats filled my heart with the compassion she was experiencing and the blessing that comes from loving your neighbors!
This was a living moment of our school’s vision: “Intrinsically motivated, compassionate, curious, and innovative global citizens!”
