History
Northwest Montessori House of Children, under the direction of Ms. Shireen de Silva, has expanded from one childcare building in 1984 to four childcare campuses with pre-school students ranging from 18 months to 6 years old. At the beginning we had 50 students. Today we can hold up to 160 students. Our 30-year history in Austin has resulted in thousands of children growing up with the confidence to achieve their highest ability and potential. Today there are over twenty dedicated and passionate Montessori certified teachers who whole-heartedly believe that a daycare school is a family and that our children are best educated by a community of students, parents, and faculty. Our address ranges from 1901 - 1907 Koenig Lane.
Specialties
At Northwest Montessori, a private Montessori pre-school and daycare, we utilize the Montessori method of education, which aids in the accelerated development of your child further enhancing his or her knowledge and self-esteem. We specialize in childcare for the pre-school ages of 18 months to 6 years old. The Montessori method encourages all children to develop their own skills at a pace they set and is rooted in a core belief that education should not only impart knowledge but must always strive to unlock human potential. Our classrooms are fully equipped with time-tested Montessori materials and educational tools and each of our campuses has a large, fully shaded playground. We intentionally keep the school environment intimate and the class sizes small. At Northwest Montessori we whole-heartedly believe that a school is a family and that our children are best educated by a community of students, parents, and faculty. Our daycare is open Monday - Friday 7:00am - 6:00pm. Schedule a tour today, we'd love to visit with you!
