Toddler Preschool
Montessori ONE’s Toddler program works with children ages 18 months through three years. Guides demonstrate Montessori fundamentals that will prepare Toddlers for a successful Montessori education. Montessori’s Universal Values, Freedom Within Limits, Prepared Environment, Practical Life, and curriculum “Works” are introduced. As with all authentic Montessori programs, students interact in a mixed-age group environment that provides younger students with positive role models and exposure to higher levels of learning, while older Toddlers begin development of early leadership skills. For more information on the Preschool program, please visit our Preschool Curriculum and Environment pages.

Primary Preschool
The Montessori tenants continue in the Primary Preschool program. The Primary program serves children ages three through six. Montessori’s Universal Values, Freedom Within Limits, Prepared Environment, Practical Life, and curriculum “Works” continue at a more complex level. With the use of specific Montessori materials, language development and mathematic capabilities bloom. It is common to see Primary students spelling, writing in cursive, executing the four main mathematical functions, effectively problem solving, and becoming increasingly curious and enthusiastic about learning.

Our Facility
The Prepared Environment is of the utmost importance in an authentic Montessori school. Montessori ONE Academy’s customized design and build creates the ideal environment for children to learn and develop. An abundance of natural light, child-sized furniture and materials, organized and clutter-free spaces give children a calm, peaceful, and inspiring environment to learn.


What People Say About Us
"My wife and I enrolled our three year old son in the program at Montessori ONE halfway through the academic year, depressed and discouraged by his experience in another school where he had suffered for want of stimulation, for want of the nurturing structure of a genuine Montessori program. In less than a week at Montessori ONE we had our old boy back -- and more, much more! He was talking and singing and teaching us yoga. He was excited about school again, eager each day to reunite with his teachers and classmates. Since then, we have been deeply impressed by the professionalism of both Montessori ONE Director, Tina Patel, and her teachers, by the depth of their training, and by their obvious love of children. One has only to see the building itself to appreciate the scope of Tina's vision for the school. The instant one crosses the threshold there one feels at peace, at home."

"Our family cannot say enough wonderful things about Montessori ONE Academy. Our daughters are enthusiastic about life and learning. They are growing into responsible, independent, thoughtful, intelligent people. The instruction is top-notch. The administration is open and responsive to feedback and questions. The facility is world-class. We highly recommend Montessori ONE Academy to families considering private education and interested in an alternative to the traditional classroom dynamic."

As a parent who loves and expects academic excellence for my son, I have found that Montessori One Academy is without a doubt, the best experience any parent and student can ask for. There are many aspects that I personally have found so much gratitude for when it comes to my son attending such a phenomenal school. Thank you Montessori One for not only setting the pace, but raising the bar! Our happy meter is way high!

"What a privilege it is for my twin boys to attend Montessori ONE. I'm consistently and deeply impressed with the degree of steadfast, loving, and encouraging guidance my boys receive here. The classrooms are uncluttered, full of natural light, plants and flowers, and natural wood, and the children move through the space with purpose, focus, and smiles. The teachers are helpful and kind, and I never feel judged, even when I've forgotten the boys' lunches! Hey, it happens with twins!"

"A question most parents struggle with early on is the question of child care. When my husband and I were faced with this decision as our daughter approached her first birthday and I needed to return to work, the process of finding a preschool felt daunting and overwhelming. We wanted the time our daughter spent away from us to be spent in an environment that was supportive, affirming and challenging. We didn’t want a daycare; we wanted a school. We visited many programs in Albuquerque, and I left each one feeling disappointed and wondering if I should just quit my job and stay home with my daughter. Then we discovered Montessori ONE Preschool Academy. When you observe a classroom at Montessori One, you observe a unique child-centered environment. You see a collaborative partnership between the expertise of the child and the guidance of the teacher, passionate educators who have an understanding of every child’s individual development and who have done so much to foster our girls’ growing independence and potential. Knowing that our children are in this stimulating environment during the day and seeing the incredible social and educational growth resulting from the time spent at Montessori ONE fills me with overwhelming gratitude."
