The care and love shown to children is amazing. The guides see each child for who they are and honor their individuality and needs. We feel so lucky our son gets to experience this amazing program!


Young Children's Community Parent


Santa Cruz Montessori was a wonderful journey for our family. The joy of learning is a lifelong gift from Montessori to our daughters. And this now serves them well as they navigate the academic rigors of high school.
