Why The Montessori Schools of Flatiron and SoHo?

Choosing a preschool is about more than finding a place where your child will spend the day. It's about choosing an environment that will shape how they learn, grow, and see themselves for years to come.

At The Montessori Schools, every classroom, every lesson, and every interaction is intentionally designed to help children become confident, capable, and deeply engaged learners. Guided by an authentic Montessori curriculum, our educators create an environment where children are trusted to explore, encouraged to think independently, and supported as they grow into their own unique potential.

Parents often tell us the difference doesn't stay at school.

They see children making thoughtful decisions, taking pride in caring for themselves, asking bigger questions, and approaching new experiences with confidence. These aren't simply academic milestones—they're the habits of lifelong learners.

Ultimately, that's what an authentic Montessori education is designed to cultivate.

The qualities below are the ones we believe matter most—and the ones you'll begin to see long before your child reaches kindergarten.

Why Montessori: Curiosity

Curiosity
