The Little City Montessori School Application Process
At LCM, we create an environment to nurture the whole child. Students are active constructors of their own knowledge and development, rather than passive recipients of information from adults. The Montessori approach encourages self-directed exploration in prepared environments to cultivate this innate drive.

Montessori Classroom Inclusivity
Little City Montessori is committed to providing our students and staff a supportive and inclusive environment. Our goal is to create a diverse, mixed-age classroom. Consideration is given to currently enrolled students and siblings, the needs of the family (early and after care), diversity, classroom space availability, balancing of ages and genders, and the order in which an application is received.
Our curriculum
Little City Montessori’s curriculum honors the Montessori tradition while responding to the needs of today’s learners. Spanning toddler through upper elementary, our programs are intentionally sequenced to foster independence, creativity, and critical thinking. Each stage—from practical life works in early childhood to advanced inquiry in elementary—builds on the last, creating a joyful, hands-on learning journey.
