"Our aim is not merely to make the child understand, and still less to force him to memorize, but so to touch his imagination as to enthuse him to his inmost core."

At The Hans Christian Andersen Montessori School children learn to explore, question, and enjoy the wonder of learning.  We encourage each child to discover their amazing and unique abilities.

We are an affiliated member of the American Montessori Society and licensed by the State of Connecticut. Our programs run four and five days per week, full and part time. We also have an extended-care morning program and lunch program available.

We accept children ages 2 years and 9 months through 6 years into our program.
