Our Story

Built to Help Children Grow With Purpose, Confidence, and Joy

Level Up Montessori began with a simple belief: every child is capable, curious, and full of potential. We created our schools to offer families something more balanced than a one-size-fits-all early education experience.

Our approach combines Montessori principles, stronger academic structure, and meaningful daily learning experiences so children are not only cared for, but actively supported as they grow. Families come to us looking for a school that feels warm and welcoming, but also intentional about learning, development, and kindergarten readiness.

Our Approach

A Thoughtful Blend of Montessori, Academics, and Creative Growth

Our curriculum is designed around three core parts. First, we build academic foundations through structured learning that helps children prepare for kindergarten with confidence. This includes early work in letters, writing, numbers, classroom routines, and focused learning time.

Second, we bring learning to life through Montessori-based, hands-on experiences that encourage independence, practical life skills, cultural study, and active discovery. Third, we make room for creative art and team-based projects each week so children can collaborate, express themselves, and enjoy learning in different ways.

We Keep Families Connected Every Step of the Way

Parents want to know their child is safe, progressing, and cared for each day. We make communication a priority so families feel informed, involved, and supported throughout their child’s experience with us.

Brightwheel Communication

We use Brightwheel to help families stay connected with updates, important information, and day-to-day communication.

Progress Sharing

We believe families should have a clear picture of how their child is growing. We share progress in ways that help parents understand development, learning, and next steps.

Parent Partnership

Strong communication between school and home matters. We value parent partnership and believe children do best when families and educators work together.

Individual Growth Focus

Every child develops at their own pace. We pay attention to each child’s strengths, needs, and progress so support feels personal rather than generic.

For many families, trust grows through consistency and communication. We work hard to make sure parents feel connected not only to their child’s daily experience, but also to their longer-term development.

More Ways We Support Modern Families

We know families are comparing more than curriculum alone. They are also thinking about convenience, flexibility, value, enrichment, and whether the school feels like a good long-term fit.

Why Families Choose Level Up Montessori

Montessori Learning With More Structure

Some families want hands-on learning and independence, but they also want stronger academic preparation. Our approach is built to offer both, helping children learn through action while also developing the skills they will need in kindergarten and beyond.

A Clear Focus on Kindergarten Readiness

We do not wait until the final months before elementary school to prepare children for what comes next. We build early confidence in writing, literacy, math, routines, and participation so children are better prepared over time.

A Warm School Experience Parents Can Feel Good About

Families are looking for more than a program on paper. They want caring educators, good communication, organized classrooms, and a school experience that feels supportive from the first tour onward.

Level up Montessori is a great day care for infants. I sent my infant there for 3 months. He loved this place and seemed always excited when we dropped him off and happy when picked him up.
