Defuniak Springs Montessori School

We are more than just an educational institution. We are a vibrant and inclusive community dedicated to nurturing the growth, curiosity, and potential of every child. Founded on the principles of Montessori education, we embrace a holistic approach that honors the uniqueness of each individual and fosters a love of learning that lasts a lifetime. We accept ages 6 months to 6 years old. The primary class for children ages 3-6 years old offers a prepared environment designed specifically for this developmental stage. In this environment, children work with hands-on manipulative materials so that they learn through their own explorations, at their own pace, naturally. The primary classroom environment is prepared with beautiful materials and aesthetically pleasing décor including live plants and works of art. The Toddler class is for children ages 18 months-3 years old. It is very similar to that of the Primary classroom in aesthetic and dsign, following the Montessori guidelines.
