Our Mission
Luma Montessori is the illuminating early childhood learning community that stimulates the absorbent minds of emerging learners ages 1 year old through Pre-K.
Luma delivers student-centered pedagogy, an individualized curriculum, and transparent assessment plans that result in uncommonly thorough academic preparation within spaces that inspire learning.
Luma’s primary goal is to ensure each child’s preparation for school and life by instilling confidence, teaching independence, and developing an inherent joy of learning.
Luma students learn through satisfying their curiosity through play and exploration in an environment that is aesthetic and inspiring. Such experiential engagements are the foundations of illuminating a child’s potential and making them life-long learners.
Embodying the time-tested Montessori philosophy that in their first six years, children avidly absorb, process, and synthesize information from their surroundings. Luma Montessori provides unique prepared environments — a simple machines workshop, art studio, iPad learning lab, reading circle, Lego zone, rustic retreat, and performing arts area, among others— that engage students’ minds and provide ample tactile, hands-on experiences that elevate play to ah-ha learning moments.

Luma’s Curriculum
Covering the five key areas of practical life, sensorial, mathematics, language, and culture(science) — unfolds in every corner of our school, from the central Learning Labs to each individual classroom where sensory-based learning tools isolate key skills and concepts and encourage independent problem-solving.
In these vital early years, your child’s mind is more capable of absorbing information and growing exponentially than at any other time in their lives. Luma Montessori recognizes the unique mind of each child, creates a bright, energetic, carefully designed environment, and places them in the expert care of highly trained educators so that each child not only reaches their fullest potential, but comes to uncover their passions, cultivate an innate love of learning, and form the all-important foundation for a luminous life.
