The program has three major components:
✅ Daily Morning Circle Time – each session is 30-minutes long and is thematic
✅ One-on-one sessions with a Montessori Instructor – each session is 30-minutes long. The teachers will conduct an evaluation to learn more about your child and then personalize lessons based on what you, as a parent, what to achieve for your child.
✅ Guidance for parents – repository of activities that parents can use at home
Our virtual preschool program does not require the purchase of specialized Montessori materials to participate. We typically will have parents and students create materials based on their personalized lessons. Use of material at home has many benefits, including:
✔️Keeping the costs low for parents – we believe that every home is a Montessori home, and you should be able to use items already available at home to do the lessons.
✔️The process of creating the materials jointly with the child enhances the learning experience.
For Math, Reading, Culture, and other lessons, our Montessori guides publish and send assignments via Google Classroom.

Our virtual preschool program started in March of 2020 and since then has welcomed students from all over the globe. Our virtual preschool program has allowed students, parents, and teachers to stay connected. They have been very appreciative of the daily connection with the school and feel it not only helps to provide structure but has been crucial in making them feel less isolated.
We have been offering virtual education to K-12 students since 2012.
After the 1-week trial, you can continue with the program on a weekly basis. We ask for a minimum of an 2-week commitment to ensure the program’s consistency.
We offer multiple packages and you can select the one that best meets your child’s needs:
There are several layers involved when approaching this topic.
The virtual environment has helped us bring the beauty of Montessori lessons directly into the homes of families all over the world. This is definitely an incredible opportunity. At the same time, there are inherent risks that we must be aware of. While we carefully monitor our virtual classrooms and messaging, there are still things that we cannot control. For example, if a user wants to record any of our sessions, they can and will find a way through their devices or simply by using their own cell phones. At that point, there is no way for us to guarantee how that image will be used. For this reason alone, it makes it a necessity for us to require the agreement in order to participate in our program.
While this is likely to be a rare event, we proceed as if it were happening at any time. We certainly understand if any family decides that they are not able to give the photo/video agreement and we respect those decisions. We, unfortunately, are unable to move forward without the consent for the reasons described.
