Montessori Children's House of Nantucket

The Children’s House is a converted home, with each room dedicated to a different area of the curriculum. These carefully prepared environments are warm and inviting, featuring child-sized tables and chairs, along with low, open shelves that display beautiful materials, all within easy reach of the students. Step inside, and you'll see it truly is a “Children’s House” designed for exploration and discovery. During the school day, children have the freedom to move throughout the building during the extended work period. This flexibility allows each student to make independent choices, explore areas of interest, and discover new ideas at their own pace. Their curiosity shapes their learning, fostering a love of discovery and a sense of wonder. Teachers act as gentle guides, helping students develop inner discipline, self-confidence, and a lifelong passion for learning.
