Montessori School for Children 3-12
Children learn by discovery and with a sense of joy and wonder. By nurturing the intrinsic desire in every child to explore his or her world, the Montessori Method establishes early on a strong foundation for a lifetime love of learning.
At Mountain Shadows, we have created a beautifully rich environment in which to foster the natural ability for each child to learn and grow. By respecting the child and honoring his or her unique qualities, we use the proven child-centered education principles pioneered by Dr. Maria Montessori over 90 years ago. The results are academic excellence, a passion for learning, and the excited and eager faces of children as they go to school each day.
Mountain Shadows is located in the Boulder/Gunbarrel area on 63rd Street. We offer programs year-round for children ages 3 to 12, including a summer camp program during June, July and August. For more information please visit our website or call us at (303) 530-5353
