What you can expect from Hollyhock
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.
