Children learning in a Montessori environment at Casa dei Bambini

Welcome

Welcome to Casa dei Bambini Preschool.

At Casa dei Bambini Montessori School, we believe every child carries a unique spark — and it is our joy and responsibility to help that spark grow.

We have created a calm, inspiring environment where children feel secure and respected. Our classrooms are thoughtfully prepared to encourage independence, curiosity, concentration, and hands-on discovery.

With gentle guidance from experienced Montessori educators, children are given time and space to discover who they are and what they are capable of. Our personal school community allows teachers to know each child as an individual and build confidence, compassion, and independence over time.

Statement of Purpose

At Casa dei Bambini, we are dedicated to creating a thoughtful, engaging environment where each child can grow into a confident, curious, and creative learner. Our goal is to nurture the habits, attitudes, and skills that inspire a lifelong love of learning — starting from the inside out.

The school and community

Mandarin and Spanish immersion for the early years.

As an international preschool community, we celebrate cultural diversity and the shared humanity that connects us all. Our families come from many backgrounds, and we see this as one of our greatest strengths.

Children experience the richness of global traditions and perspectives through celebrations, stories, music, language, food, geography, cultural projects, and meaningful classroom conversations.

We value strong partnerships with parents and caregivers. Choosing a school is deeply personal, and we work together with each family to support each child’s growth with warmth, respect, and trust—from the toddler years through kindergarten.
