The Montessori program at CFP has been transformative for our daughter. She has become more independent, confident, and genuinely loves coming to school every day.

Follow the Child to Lifelong Learning

Our Montessori program follows the educational philosophy developed by Dr. Maria Montessori, built on the belief that children experience different stages of readiness that create windows of opportunity for learning. The individuality of each child is prized, and every student works at their own pace across five distinct learning areas.

With two teachers per class and a maximum of 24 students, we provide the individual attention each child needs to thrive in a family-like, mixed-age environment that mirrors the real world. Children ages 3 through 6 learn alongside one another, creating natural opportunities for mentorship, collaboration, and social growth. Spanish instruction is integrated across all grade levels at CFP, beginning in our Montessori program.

Our Community & Culture

Beyond the five learning areas, our Montessori program is defined by the warmth of our community and the values we share. We believe that character and connection are just as important as curriculum.

“The Montessori teachers have such patience and warmth. Our son has blossomed into a confident, curious little learner.”
- CFP Montessori Parent
