Nurturing independence, strengthening community and expanding access to high-quality Montessori education for every child.
​​​
At Magic Lantern Montessori, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive in a nurturing and thoughtfully prepared environment. Rooted in the Montessori philosophy, our program is designed to support the whole child—fostering independence, curiosity, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning.
For over 25 years, we have proudly served families in our community by creating spaces where children are respected as capable individuals and encouraged to follow their natural development through hands-on, meaningful work. Our classrooms are intentionally designed to inspire exploration, concentration, and self-discovery, guided by educators who are deeply committed to the Montessori approach.
Magic Lantern Montessori is proud to be a chapter of Sound Childcare Solutions, a consortium of eight schools working collaboratively to expand access to high-quality early learning. Through this partnership, we are able to strengthen our programs, support our educators, and deepen our impact across the communities we serve.
We are also deeply committed to accessibility and community impact. Magic Lantern Montessori works to ensure that high-quality early education is available to families from all backgrounds, including those experiencing financial hardship. Through scholarships, subsidized care, and strong community partnerships, we strive to create a program that reflects the diversity, strength, and needs of the families we serve.
At our core, we are more than a school—we are a community. A place where children build independence, families feel supported, and educators are empowered to grow.
