About Us
We’re a small Montessori program in Claremont, and that size is the point. Teachers notice when a child is ready for the next challenge and when they need a little more time. Your child learns to read, count, pour, button a coat, and clean up after themselves, all at a pace that fits them.

Our Feature
Our play-based learning approach allows children to explore, imagine, and learn through fun, hands-on activities.
Our teachers are trained in the Montessori method and stay with your child across the year. They watch closely and know when to step in and when to let a child stay deep in their work.
Younger children learn by watching older ones, and older children grow by helping. The room works a bit like a small family.
Play and learning aren’t separate here. The materials are designed so that the thing a child finds fun is also the thing teaching them to count, read, or solve a problem.
"We chose Montessori because we wanted our daughter to learn at her own pace and develop a true love for discovery. It's been the best decision."
— Sarah M., Parent

Frequently Asked Questions
We welcome children ages 3 to 7 years old. If your child is close to the edge of that range, call us and we’ll talk through whether the timing works.
Yes. The building stays secure during the day, the play areas are fenced and checked, and staff are trained in first aid and CPR. You’re always welcome to visit and see the space for yourself.
You’ll hear from us through daily notes and photos, plus a quick message whenever something comes up. We’d rather over-communicate than leave you wondering how the day went.
Yes, absolutely. Your child's safety is our highest priority, and we have created a secure, nurturing environment where they can learn and play with complete confidence.
Comfort comes from routine and from a teacher who knows your child. The day follows a predictable rhythm, and the same caring faces greet your child each morning. If a child needs a minute, there’s always a quiet corner to take it.
Teachers watch how each child works and adjust from there. A child who’s racing ahead in reading gets harder material; a child who needs more time with numbers gets it, without being made to feel behind.
Testimonials
Based on our community reviews
"Very happy on our experience with IMS. Our little one was born during the pandemic and socialization was the top of our list. IMS overdelivered with education and teaching the fundamentals of just being a good person. The staff was great, caring and very accommodating. I would gladly recommend this school to whoever asks."
"My son loves coming to school every single day. The teachers are caring, the environment is safe, and the activities are designed for young children. We've seen so much improvement in his communication and confidence."
