DISCOVER OUR MONTESSORI DIFFERENCE
Following Children's Natural Curiosity
PROGRAMS
Our infant program is designed for children aged 8 weeks to 18 months. Our nurturing environment fosters exploration and independence, allowing infants to develop at their own pace. We maintain a 3:1 ratio of infants to adults.
The Montessori toddler program
(12 months to 3 years) fosters independence and curiosity. In a prepared environment, toddlers engage in hands-on activities that promote sensory exploration and motor skills.
The Montessori Primary Program, for children aged 2 ½ to 6, promotes a love for learning through hands-on experiences. Children explore subjects at their own pace, developing thinking and social skills in a nurturing environment.
ABOUT US
Our Story
Highlands Montessori is a nurturing Montessori school in Wheat Ridge, CO, offering high-quality care and education for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. Over the past decade, we’ve grown from a small classroom of 10 toddlers into a thriving community of more than 80 children—while staying true to the values that guided us from the beginning.
​
Founded by former public Montessori teachers, Highlands Montessori is independently owned and operated. We’re not part of a chain—we’re a school created and run by educators, grounded in authentic Montessori principles and a deep respect for the people at the heart of our community: the children, the families who trust us, and the teachers who make the work possible. Our leadership is present and engaged, and our approach reflects a belief in strong relationships, meaningful learning, and the power of a thoughtfully prepared environment. We follow an individualized, whole-child approach—supporting not just academic growth but social, emotional, and physical development as well.
At Highlands Montessori, we are committed to fostering a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion. We believe every individual deserves a safe and supportive environment where their unique backgrounds and perspectives are honored. Together, we strive to create an inclusive educational experience that empowers every learner to thrive.
Expertly Trained Teachers Committed to Authentic Montessori Education
At Highlands Montessori, all of our teachers are trained and certified through either AMI (Association Montessori Internationale) or AMS (American Montessori Society), ensuring that our staff adheres to the highest standards of Montessori education. These prestigious certifications reflect our commitment to providing an authentic Montessori experience, grounded in Dr. Maria Montessori's philosophy. Our educators are not only knowledgeable in child development and Montessori principles, but also bring practical, hands-on experience with Montessori materials to create an enriching, child-centered learning environment. With this expert training, our teachers are dedicated to guiding each child’s individual growth, fostering independence, supporting families, and cultivating a love of learning.
