Children’s Garden Montessori School is a nonprofit, board-governed early childhood school serving children aged 18 months through six years. The school is located in the Cherry Creek neighborhood and describes itself as combining Montessori curriculum with influences from the Reggio Emilia approach.
The school uses Montessori methods together with Reggio-inspired practices: classrooms are mixed-age, teachers observe and guide children, and learning environments are prepared to support independence, sensory and cultural exploration, and creative expression.
Classrooms are led by teams of teachers who hold AMS/AMI Montessori credentials or degrees in early childhood education. Enrollment for new families is managed through an annual application and lottery process; the school offers Parent Preview presentations and classroom observations as part of the application sequence, and it operates waitlists for openings.
The Extended Primary/Kindergarten (XP) program is designed for the oldest Primary children and focuses on more complex, age-appropriate exploration across Montessori areas and extended studio projects.
The Extended Primary/Kindergarten year groups the oldest primary children for expanded, age-appropriate exploration and additional time in the studio and community activities.
The Primary Program aims to help each child develop confidence, self-esteem, consideration for others, and basic cognitive understandings.
The Primary Program operates in mixed-age classrooms designed for children from about 3 to 6 years and organizes the environment into practical life, sensorial, language, math and cultural areas.
In the Toddler Program, children are provided a supportive, nurturing environment in which their individual strengths and interests are allowed to develop and flourish.
