The Montessori Home School, located in Richmond VA, is currently accepting new students for January enrollment! The school was created by a few moms with education backgrounds who were frustrated with the options available and wanted to offer a low-cost alternative to other preschools. Our classroom is currently located in the near West End in the home of the director, Sarah McDowell. We strive towards providing a comprehensive Montessori-based preschool program at very affordable rates.

Montessori noted that the most crucial developmental years were ages 0-6. During this time, a child has certain "sensitive periods" for math, language, and other aptitudes. Montessori education provides your child with the best start in those early years by facillitating an environment that fosters each child to realize his or her full potential.
