Joyful Learning
Curiosity and joy for learning are habits cultivated by A Children’s Habitat.
Peace Education
Kindness, empathy, and peaceful conflict resolution comprise and inform both our explicit and implicit curriculum.
Community
Inspired by a spirit of community and the power of collective talents, we focus efforts on building relationships and working with one another.
Stewardship
Just as we care for one another, we care for our broader social and natural worlds.

“We choose Habitat because our two kids (Lower Elementary and Toddler) are receiving a custom education in an environment where they can be their authentic selves. The space is sensory-rich, thoughtfully curated, and home-like. The students go outside A LOT. The teachers and staff are not only compassionate and experienced, but we know they care deeply for our children. Our kids are thriving academically, socially, and emotionally and their love of learning grows each day!” - The Fords

She was super proud of herself! 🩷
🌈 In Montessori, activities like balancing on the tops of tires encourage children to take pride in their achievements by promoting both physical and mental growth.💛 As children work on their balance, they are not only developing coordination and strength but also learning perseverance and self-discipline.
🌈 When they succeed in balancing across the tires, they feel a sense of accomplishment, which boosts their confidence. The Montessori approach encourages children to focus on their personal progress rather than comparing themselves to others, helping them feel proud of their own efforts and growth. 🩷

“Three years ago, we joined the Habitat community while searching for a kindergarten for our oldest. We fell in love with the outdoor space, the Montessori curriculum, and the incredible teachers. Now, with two boys thriving in the 3-6 and lower elementary classrooms, we couldn’t be happier. We are gladly supporting the capital campaign to realize Habitat’s longstanding dream of home ownership. Please join us!” - The Dosmann Family
🌈 We are filled with excitement to share that A Children’s Habitat Montessori is on the verge of an incredible milestone—the school is set to become a homeowner for the first time in 53 years! With your support, ACH will soon own the building that has been the heart and home of so many memories, experiences, and growth. This milestone will allow ACH to expand its classrooms, enhance its offerings, increase financial assistance, and continue to provide the exceptional Montessori education that has touched so many lives.
