About our academy
Our Mission
At Montessori Children’s Academy of Prescott, our mission is to provide a nurturing environment for young learners based on the principles founded by Dr. Maria Montessori, following the AMI training model.

Why families choose us
A Prepared Environment Where Your Child Leads
Every material on the shelf is there for a reason: to let your child discover, repeat, and master something entirely on their own.
Real independence
Pouring, buttoning, washing, caring for plants. Practical life work builds the quiet confidence that carries into everything else your child does.
Deep concentration
Uninterrupted work cycles let children stay with a material as long as it holds them, so focus becomes a habit rather than a demand.
Hands-on academics
Children hold a thousand cube before they ever write the number. Abstract ideas land because they were concrete first.
Small classes, real attention
Guides know exactly where each child is and what they are ready for next. Nobody gets carried along by the middle of the group.
Association Montessori Internationale
Trained the Way Dr. Montessori Intended
Our classrooms are founded based on the principles within this training model. The Association Montessori Internationale was created by Dr. Maria Montessori in an effort to establish a fluid Montessori practice in training guides throughout the world.
That means what happens in our Prescott classrooms is the same careful, child-led practice Montessori guides are trained in around the world, not a loose interpretation of it.

Testimonials
Our Montessori Community Loves Us
My family has had the pleasure of enrolling our toddler at the Montessori Children’s Academy. I am truly impressed by the environment and the approach to early childhood education. The classroom is bright, inviting, and thoughtfully organized, allowing children to explore and learn at their own pace. The teachers are attentive and nurturing, fostering a sense of independence while providing support when needed. I love how they encourage the children to engage in hands-on activities, from practical life skills to creative play.
It is heartwarming to see the toddlers working collaboratively, sharing ideas, and developing their problem-solving skills. There is a clear emphasis on respect for each child’s individual learning style, making it a truly inclusive space. My son loves it here, and we are so thankful to have him in such a wonderful place!
Our daughter loves Montessori Children’s Academy. She has learned so many new skills and often doesn’t want to leave when we pick her up at the end of the day. The teachers are caring and attentive and the small class sizes means our child gets undivided attention.
Kristina is one of the warmest people I have met and it shows through her passion of Montessori learning. She is so patient and kind and the classrooms are beautiful and the kids just love all the puzzles and child-led activities!

Questions Prescott Parents Ask Us
What ages do you take?
We serve children from 18 months through 6 years, across our toddler and primary classrooms. Children move up when they are developmentally ready, not simply when a birthday passes.
My child has never been in Montessori. Will they adjust?
Most children settle in within the first few weeks. The classroom is designed to be readable by a young child, so they can find work, put it away, and ask for help on their own terms. Your guide will keep you posted through the transition.
What makes an AMI-based classroom different?
AMI is the training model Dr. Maria Montessori established herself so that Montessori practice would stay consistent worldwide. It shapes how our guides present materials, how the environment is arranged, and how children are observed and supported.
Can we visit before we decide?
Please do. A private tour is the only real way to see how calm and purposeful a Montessori room is. Fill in the form above and we will find a time that suits you.

Spaces in each classroom are limited by design, so small groups stay small.
