Description: Bella Montessori’s goal is to provide a safe and nurturing environment for the child to explore, create, and to bring out each of their own natural abilities. This is the basis for a Montessori education and it is what Dr. Montessori believed would help children reach their fullest potential. It is our fondest hope that we will instill a love of learning to last a life time.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
