About our School

When you walk into Wellesley Montessori School, you will instantly note the joyous atmosphere of children absorbed in meaningful and exciting activities.  WMS is committed to providing the highest quality early learning experience for children ages 9 months - 6 years old.  We encourage learning at a child’s own pace in a pleasant and nurturing environment. Closely following the precepts of Dr. Maria Montessori, the primary classrooms of WMS have an outstanding reputation for adherence to the exacting precepts established in the first classes pioneered by Dr. Maria Montessori a century ago. These principles and concepts relate to the timeless realities of healthy human development.

Highly trained teachers guide the children’s connection to meaningful activities in the classroom environments. These are replete with the full array of Montessori materials geared toward developing the whole child: emotional, cognitive, and social.  Daily activities and lessons promote natural self-confidence, responsibility, independence, and sustained capacity to concentrate – skills we feel are essential to foster learning in the early years.  The integration of positive habits and attitudes occurs when children are stimulated to tap into their inherent vast potential.

​WMS offers intelligent, sensitive guidance to children in carefully prepared Montessori classrooms in order to provide an optimal experience for every individual. We invite you to come see the often astounding results in our classrooms full of joyously engaged children. 

“The greatest sign of success for a teacher is to be able to say, 'The children are now working as if I did not exist.'"
