Ohana Montessori provides infant care, toddler programs, and Montessori preschool education in a calm environment with natural materials such as wood, plants, and organic textures, along with bright, open spaces. The classrooms are prepared so that every detail is arranged to invite independence and exploration, and outdoor learning includes daily connection with nature. The program follows authentic Montessori principles with a Montessori curriculum that includes practical life activities, outdoor exploration, and individualized guidance using authentic Montessori materials. Classrooms are named from the adventure of Koa, a gentle wooden turtle who guides a school-wide story, and Koa serves as a symbolic guide reminding children to be brave, connected, and kind.
