Specializing in small group education for Infant, Toddler, Kindergarten, Elementary Grades 1–6, and Middle School Grades 7–8.
At QI Montessori, we believe every child is unique, capable, and full of potential. For over 20 years, we’ve partnered with families to nurture confident learners who thrive both academically and socially.
Here’s why parents trust us:
Our Infant program provides a safe, peaceful, and responsive environment where your baby can thrive. We focus on a gentle approach to care, building trust, and supporting the earliest signs of cognitive and physical development through sensory exploration and secure attachment.
This environment encourages the toddler’s natural drive for movement and independence. The classroom is designed to be fully accessible, allowing children to explore materials, develop fine motor skills, and practice essential life skills, supported by individualized guidance.
Building on the skills from Toddler 1, this program focuses on refining communication skills and achieving greater independence. Children engage in more complex Practical Life activities, fostering concentration, coordination, and a sense of accomplishment that prepares them for Preschool.
Our core Primary environment (ages 3-6) supports the child’s “Absorbent Mind.” Children work at their own pace in a multi-age classroom, engaging with the classic materials across Practical Life, Sensorial, Language, and Mathematics, leading to a lifelong love of learning.
The final and crucial year of the Primary cycle. Kindergarten students solidify all previous learning, moving from concrete manipulation to abstract thought. They assume leadership roles in the classroom, mentor younger peers, and master foundational academic skills.
This program (ages 6-9) aligns with the child’s “Age of Imagination” and reasoning mind. The curriculum is delivered through “Cosmic Education”—five Great Lessons that connect all subjects (history, science, culture) into an inspiring, interconnected story of the universe.
Students (ages 9-12) develop their critical thinking and moral sense. The focus shifts to exploring human history, social organization, and culture in greater detail. Independent research, discussions, and “going out” (small group field trips) become essential tools for self-directed learning.
This program is designed to prepare adolescents for adulthood by combining academic learning with real-world experiences. It integrates practical work, personal development, and social engagement to support growth, responsibility, and self-discovery.
Field Trips and Outings are integral components of the Montessori experience. These are not merely passive visits; they are extensions of classroom studies, allowing students to gather information and seek experts in the community. They reinforce the concept that learning happens everywhere.

Conveniently located campuses designed to provide safe, accessible, and nurturing learning environments for families in the community.

The teachers are incredibly dedicated, nurturing, and truly understand the Montessori philosophy. The environment is warm, engaging, and designed to foster independence, creativity, and a love for learning. Our child has thrived academically and socially, developing confidence and curiosity in a way that feels natural and joyful. The staff communicates well with parents, and we always feel informed and involved. If you’re looking for a school that values hands-on learning and individualized growth, QI Montessori is a fantastic choice!Posted on Ryan AndersonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Quality Interactive Montessori School is an amazing place to send your kids. The staff is always friendly, and has the best intentions for your kids. My child has learned so much from his teachers.Posted on tifany swensonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SCHOOL!! 4 children from my own family have been lucky to have gone here. The teachers are so kind and patient with all of the littles and it really reflects when all 4 kids talk about how much they love their friends and teachers. I am also able to get photo updates under their profiles with a small description & i can see all of the creative educational activities my kids are enjoying during the day! We were fortunate to get in several years ago when there weren’t many spots & I have never been more confident we made the best decision. Love QI !Posted on Lisa RicicaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our daughter has attended QI for the past 3 years and it’s been an enriching experience to her and our family. The staff creates a safe learning environment for children to explore their interests while also challenging their development in all aspects of learning. The Montessori curriculum is amazing for development and the teachers embrace it and assist each child in their learning development. Our daughter loves her school and teachers which makes me feel like I’m winning as a parent, all thanks to the QI teachers.Posted on Stephanie ParkerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My son has been attending QI for almost 5 years now, since he was 5 months old. I have always been extremely pleased with the school, teachers and curriculum, as well as the communication provided to the parents. I have always felt my son was well looked after and cared for, taught and prepared for the next step. They offer so many extra programs at this location like mandarin, PE, soccer, dance and so on. This school and the teachers have become part of our family, especially with most of the same teachers still there since we first started and even long before. This school was always my first choice and I have never regretted it.Posted on Mackenzie LarsenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Love this school for my daughter! The teachers and staff are wonderful.Posted on Elizabeth ShahTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We love this Montessori for our two sons! The teachers are amazing and they learn so much. It has made such a difference in their language and reading skills. They look forward to going and love seeing their friends. The location is wonderful and provides a home like classroom/school. Ms. Kathy in administration is so helpful and welcoming! We have four children and all four have attended this Montessori for all their toddler and preschool years. Would definitely recommend this school to any child from newborn to preschool!!!Posted on Poliana ElliottTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My daughter has been attending this school for a couple of years. It’s a great little school with great teachers that love kids. The teachers in the infant were like mothers to her. Ariane always went above and beyond. She communicated well about what happened during the day and my daughter’s needs. Since she has moved on to toddler classrooms and is now in pre-school. Very good teachers all the way.Posted on Julia WilliamsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our experience with QI Montessori has been nothing short of incredible. From the moment we enrolled our son in the infant room, we have been blown away by the level of care, attention, and education provided daily. The staff is not only warm and nurturing but also highly experienced, with strong educational backgrounds that truly set this Montessori program apart. The cleanliness and organization of the school are impeccable, creating a safe and inviting environment for the children. Beyond that, the culture is one of warmth, respect, and curiosity, fostering a love for learning from the very start. One of the things we appreciate most is the strong sense of community among the parents, staff, and children. It truly feels like a family, where everyone is invested in the success and well-being of the students. The fact that the school offers such high-quality care and education at a great price makes it an even more incredible find. I have nothing but amazing things to say about QI Montessori and wholeheartedly recommend it to any parent looking for a nurturing, enriching, and supportive environment for their child. We are so grateful to be part of this wonderful community and can’t wait to watch our son continue to thrive here!Posted on Michelle McAndrewsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Where to even start!? We have been attending the QI 56th campus since 2021. The campus it self feels like home, the facilities, the staff, the play ground for all the children infants to kindergarten are amazing. My oldest entered @3 years old, now 6, into the Desert Room & his learning of language, math, writing & life skills exploded, stayed through till he entered first grade and the transition has been, Chefs kiss* amazing! Our second, now 3 started in the infant room & his worked way through each toddler classroom & now in the pre school classroom with Ms. Victoria & her beautiful support staff. Our youngest is in the infant room & will soon transition to the younger toddler room. I know that my children our loved, taken care of & as full time working mom there is nothing in the world I could ask more of. Ms. Kathy, the director, is always there for whatever you need & listens when concerns come. I’m truly grateful for this magical place & the Montessori method. A place where my children can be children, have freedoms but also time to learn basic life skills.
