Serving Decatur Since 2014
Strategically situated in downtown Decatur, Georgia, in close proximity to Emory, the CDC, and the Atlanta VA Medical Center, the Montessori Academy stands as a beacon of diversity within our community since 2014. With an unwavering commitment to excellence, our academy offers an exceptional Montessori experience, fostering an environment that cherishes and celebrates individual differences. Rooted in family values, our program is designed to not only provide unparalleled service but also to deepen the comprehension of early childhood learning, a wisdom we gladly share with both parents and the broader educational community.
At the heart of our childcare program is an inclusive approach that introduces Mandarin exposure to all students from as young as 6 weeks old. Additionally, our students engage in a dynamic Physical Education class every week, featuring the innovative Playball curriculum, starting from the Toddler class onwards. As a testament to our dedication to holistic well-being, we take immense pride in offering a daily lunch menu centered around plant-based nutrition. This menu is thoughtfully crafted using ingredients sourced from the esteemed Dekalb Farmers Market and meticulously prepared by our in-house cook.
