In A Balanced Environment That Provides The Structure And Freedom They Need

Preschool | 33 Months - 6 Years | Serving Bloomington, Savage, Shakopee & Excelsior, MN

Gaining Independence and Becoming Self-Sufficient

Mixed-age classrooms encourage your preschooler to learn from older students and develop useful, practical skills to carry them through life. These include getting dressed, preparing basic meals, cleaning up their spaces, and creating a self-care routine.

Periods For Self-Led Play and Learning Activities

Your child approaches their learning with the Montessori work cycles method, which prompts them to choose their materials and engage in uninterrupted play in an environment that has been carefully prepared to stimulate their cognitive development.

Air Filtration Every 15 Minutes Eradicates Allergens, Germs & Viruses

The high-efficiency H13 TRUE HEPA filter is tested to remove 99.9% of particles

Highly Trained Teachers Balance Structure and Freedom

Montessori-certified instructors provide your child with equal parts security and independence to encourage them to thrive under their guidance and reach their full potential. Teaching is supported by Smartboard technology and light sensory table experiences.

Classrooms Fully Stocked With Montessori Materials

Abstract learning concepts are absorbed as your preschooler manipulates, explores, and engages with Montessori materials explicitly designed with their age group in mind. These toys may look normal, but they stimulate your child’s rapidly accelerating development.

Regular Health Checks and Careful Security Measures

Contact-free TempAlert cameras take your child’s temperature upon entry, while restricted access doors and security cameras keep them safe throughout each day. You deserve the peace of mind of knowing they’re thriving under our care.

Understanding Teamwork, Respect and Cooperation

Dramatic play such as puppet shows and choreographed dance routines teach your preschooler invaluable socio-emotional skills like communication, self-regulation, discipline, confidence, and acceptance of others as they collaborate closely with their classmates.

Daily Enrichments Prompt Creativity and Self-Expression

Your child improves their balance in yoga classes, twists into a pretzel during gymnastics, sings along during circle time, and even learns Spanish as a second language. Each day holds a new activity that is both fun and enriching.

STEAM Education Builds Strong Academic Skills

Developmentally appropriate and self-led learning activities focus on science, math, engineering, art, and math concepts, so your preschooler can develop the school skills required to ensure a smooth entry to Kindergarten.

Appreciating Life Cycles And The Great Outdoors

When your little one isn’t climbing on natural play structures or frolicking on a splash pad, they’re tending to a garden or exploring an onsite greenhouse. Nurturing what they grow connects them to nature as they begin to understand how everything is connected.

A Nut-Free Food Program That Factors In Allergies

Your preschooler is served healthy, delicious meals and snacks daily that fuel them with all of the nutrients they need to stay energized all day long. Each menu item is nut-free and can be customized based on food sensitivities.

"Love the staff and the vision the school has for children."

My son started this week and it has been the smoothest transition for him. He feels like he is at home. I would recommend to anyone looking for a quality childcare for their children.

"This is the first school for our son and it has been a great transition."

We have really seen the progression of how comfortable he is with going to school and the excitement of seeing his friends. The facility is clean and the teachers are friendly. RVM is timely when it comes to sending updates and communication.

"River Valley Montessori has been so beneficial for my child!"

It’s amazing how much she has grown and developed in the short time she has been there. The staff is excellent; very caring and responsive! My daughter will actually ask to go to school, which to me, speaks volumes on how much she likes it! Highly recommend River Valley Montessori.
