Happy New Year, Welcome 2022

I hope you all found some time to rest and rejuvenate over the holidays. Our dedicated teachers have visited the campuses over the break to clean, prepare their classrooms, create new materials and add new work to the shelves. We are back, rested and ready to dive into the new year with new materials, lessons and
enthusiasm.



Cultural Celebrations
Winter Program
Winter Program

We were so pleased to once again enjoy our Winter Performance live and in person. The children were joyfully confident in their singing and proud to show you the songs they have been practicing. Thank you all for joining us and making it a lovely start to the winter break.

Pajama day!

What's more fun than wearing your pj's to school?! Maybe eating cookies and sharing the gift of books with your friends! The children loved everything about this day, we laughed, we played, we ate, we worked, we shared-a true celebration of the season!









The Montessori environment offers many opportunities for creativity and free play. Children are provided with substantial time outdoors as well as materials for creative exploration to help develop the whole child.

Tax Credit News

A huge thank you to the 82 families that have completed their 2021 tax credit and helped us reach $28,650 in tax credits.  Our goal is 100% participation before April 15, 2022 as this program funds our specials directly enriching your child’s academic experience. It is a dollar for dollar credit on your AZ income taxes up to $400, so it doesn’t cost you anything.   Thank you for directing a portion of your AZ taxes to our school in support of your child’s education.


Covid News 

As we approach the new year, cases are clearly rising, and we expect that we will experience higher than normal levels of COVID-19 positivity rates due to the persistence of the Delta variant and the rise of the Omicron variant. Please communicate with us if you or your child or anyone in your immediate household tested positive over the winter break or has been exposed as a close contact.
