​a learning community built around children

Pathway is founded on the Montessori principle: to build a community of adult support around each child's developmental path. When teachers and parents work together to create a dynamic environment where children's bountiful curiosity is nurtured, their love of learning lasts a lifetime.

About Pathway


​​​​​​​Since 2007, we have been working with families who share in our mission to provide a safe & happy learning environment for children ages 3-6 years old. Pathway is a one-room schoolhouse designed to evoke a home-like feel, where children are encouraged to explore their boundless curiosity of the world around. From the carefully curated materials in the classroom to our expansive, campus-like outdoor environment, children will leave no stone left unturned in their pursuit of learning.
