Not Your Average
Preschool.
A Montessori school for ages 6 weeks to 6 years where children don't just learn — they discover who they are.
Why Meridian
The name Meridian embodies our commitment to guiding each child towards their highest potential. In geography, a meridian represents an imaginary line that connects the poles, symbolizing balance and connection. Just as pilots and sailors use meridian lines for guidance, at Meridian Montessori, we foster an environment where children are encouraged to explore, connect, and grow in harmony with the Montessori philosophy. Our approach nurtures curiosity, independence, and a love for learning, ensuring that every child is supported on their unique educational journey.
A Day at Meridian

We're Not Like Other Preschools
Most daycares keep kids busy. We develop them. Here's what sets Meridian apart.
Montessori-Certified Educators
Every lead teacher holds AMI or AMS certification — not just a daycare aide with a badge.
Observation-Based Learning
We watch, assess, and guide each child individually. No one-size-fits-all worksheets.
Real Independence, Not Chaos
Children choose purposeful work within clear boundaries — freedom with responsibility.
Authentic Materials
Handcrafted Montessori materials, not plastic toys. Every object has a learning purpose.
Emotional Intelligence First
Grace, courtesy, and conflict resolution are woven into every day — not an afterthought.
Multi-Age Classrooms
Older children mentor younger ones. Younger children aspire to grow. Everyone benefits.
“Your child deserves more than a daycare.”
Every child who walks through our doors is treated as a capable, intelligent individual — not a number on a roster. That's the Meridian promise.
