Hope Montessori Academy in Wildwood provides an expansive Montessori environment where our focus is on your child. The primary goal of our school is to aid in the physical, social, emotional, and academic development of our students. Our certified Montessori teachers create safe, nurturing, and creative learning environments which encourage exploration, experimentation, and discovery. The Montessori curriculum is tailored to meet the needs and interests of each individual learner which builds independence, confidence, self-discipline, and a love of learning.
The Wildwood campus is located on Clayton Road. The interior of our school features spacious classrooms, a library, an art studio, and a carpeted gymnasium where student assemblies, plays, all school celebrations, guest speakers, and parent workshops take place. Each classroom has large exterior windows which let in natural light and spectacular views of the gardens and grounds. The large windows in the central hallway provide opportunities to observe children hard at work in the classroom. As an extension of our classrooms, we provide opportunities for nature exploration on our beautiful nature trails, nature playground, and in the children’s gardens. The playgrounds, soccer field, basketball court, and bicycle paths support the growing bodies of our students. During summer, the campers receive daily swim lessons at our in-ground pool.
Our year-round programs are created to meet the needs of stay at home and working parents. We offer both full-time and part-time programs to children, ages 6 weeks through kindergarten during the school year and welcome children six (6) through twelve (12) for our summer program.
