Hollyhock Montessori is a small, nurturing preschool + kindergarten located in Fort Smith, Arkansas. Hollyhock was created to bridge the gap between school and home by offering an environment where children learn naturally through meaningful work in community with others.
​
Hollyhock Montessori is a member of the Wildflower Network of schools. Wildflower is an ecosystem of teacher-led Montessori micro-schools that support children, teachers, and parents. Wildflower aspires to give all children and families the opportunity to choose high-quality, beautiful learning environments. We are thrilled to be the first Wildflower School in Arkansas!
What You Can Expect From Our Program
An Authentic Montessori School
The Montessori Method emerges from the belief that children are naturally good, peaceful and curious and that in the context of a supportive environment, all children engage instinctively in the work of self-construction. With appropriate freedoms and the right support, children follow their interests to create rich learning experiences, form peaceful communities, and support and learn from one another. We are dedicated to the preparation of environments and ourselves to support the development of children.
An Intentionally Small + Connected Community
Our small size allows us to serve every child and family in deep and meaningful partnership while fostering a warm and welcoming community of families. Looking for your village? We might be it!
A Place for All
Hollyhock Montessori is building an intentionally diverse group of children, teachers, and families. We strive to reflect the community we serve.
Hollyhock admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.
