At Eden Prairie Montessori, we believe that every child is unique and deserves a learning experience tailored to their individual needs and interests. Our Montessori approach emphasizes personalized learning, allowing children to progress at their own pace and explore their passions.

The Benefits of Personalized Learning

Enhanced Motivation: When children are engaged in activities that interest them, they are more motivated to learn.

Deeper Understanding: Personalized learning allows children to delve deeper into subjects they find fascinating.

Increased Self-Confidence: As children experience success, they develop a strong sense of self-worth and confidence.

Maintaining Constant Focus On Our Mission

Through the Montessori philosophy, we are committed to providing quality education and care for young children, preparing them to become responsible, respectful, and independent individuals with a passion for life-long learning. We use our mission as a driving factor for success in all that we do. We consider every child, their needs, their progress, and their success to create an attentive, personally tailored learning experience for all our students.

A Stimulating Learning Environment: Fostering Growth and Development

At Eden Prairie Montessori, we believe that a rich and engaging learning environment is essential for children's holistic development. Our classrooms are designed to inspire curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking. By providing a variety of hands-on activities and experiences, we empower children to become confident, independent learners.

How We Implement Personalized Learning

Individualized Learning Plans: Our teachers create individualized learning plans for each child, taking into account their strengths, weaknesses, and learning styles.
Self-Directed Learning: Children are encouraged to choose their own activities and work at their own pace.
One-on-One Guidance: Our teachers provide individualized guidance and support to help children overcome challenges and reach their full potential.

Step-by-Step Growth and Trackable Progress

Each student is encouraged to progress at his or her own pace. This allows every child to master skills by working both individually and with their peers in small groups. By using materials and activities that are appropriate in terms of progress and abilities, your child will master their skills through repetition and recognition of their own mistakes.

A Foundation for Future Success

Our Montessori approach focuses on developing the whole child, including cognitive, social, emotional, and physical skills.

Cognitive Development: Children are encouraged to explore, experiment, and discover through hands-on activities.
Social-Emotional Development: Children learn to interact with others respectfully and cooperatively.
Language Development: Children are exposed to a rich language environment, fostering literacy skills.
Mathematical Development: Children develop a strong foundation in mathematics through practical, hands-on activities.

Our Team

Our staff has been providing quality Montessori instruction to the Eden Prairie community for over 30 years. Each member of the Eden Prairie Montessori Learning team is fully trained and credentialed to guide the growth and development of your children. We believe that by surrounding our students with highly qualified, specially trained professionals, each will reach his or her full potential from a cognitive, social, emotional, and physical perspective.

Each of our lead teachers must complete Montessori Certification under a credible Montessori training program that is recognized by the Department of Human Services, in addition to their teacher qualifications. Each staff member is also trained in CPR and First Aid, keeping your child safe at all times. Through ongoing training, we’re constantly improving our ability to care for and guide our students.

Montessori Difference

Unlike traditional teaching methods, the Montessori method gives children more independence to learn at their own pace and be active in their own knowledge-gathering. Children who learn through this method are shown to be more independent and inspired, often eclipsing students who go the more traditional route.

A Safe and Nurturing Space

Our classrooms are designed to be safe, welcoming, and conducive to learning.

Child-Centered Approach: Children are at the center of the learning process, and activities are tailored to their individual needs and interests.
Positive Reinforcement: Teachers provide positive reinforcement to encourage children's efforts and accomplishments.
Respectful Interactions: Children learn to respect themselves and others through positive social interactions.

Infant (Nido)

It’s never too young to start learning! Our Infant program, nicknamed “Nido” (nest in Italian) helps infants from 6 weeks to 16 months to absorb positivity and knowledge as well as improve their motor skills.

Toddler 16m - 3 years

Our toddler programs are flexible and give students the ability to have freedom of choice while learning not just book knowledge, but the proper way to socially interact with their peers and teachers.

Preschool (Casa) 3-5 years

Meaning house in Italian, our “casa” preschool programs are meant to emulate a home environment. Students work together and learn at their own pace so they can become independent as they gather knowledge.

Kindergarten

Our all-day kindergarten program allows children to learn advanced skills that prepare them from a multi-dimensional perspective for the years of education they have ahead.

Summer

With the ability to take advantage of the great weather for outdoor learning and field trips, our summer programs are a great way to have your child learn and have fun at the same time.
