About the Provider

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.
