River Valley Montessori of Shakopee

Welcome to River Valley Montessori of Shakopee, where we provide a thoughtfully designed hybrid learning environment that blends authentic Montessori methods with our Learn From The Start and Learn As We Grow curriculum. Together, these approaches create personalized learning experiences that support development, encourage discovery, and inspire a lifelong love of learning.

The early years are critical to a child’s growth and development, which is why we offer nurturing care and early education for children ages six weeks to six years. Our Infant program provides individualized attention in a calm, supportive setting. Toddler classrooms encourage independence and exploration, while our Preschool environments promote hands-on learning that builds confidence, creativity, and problem-solving skills.

Maintaining a safe and healthy environment is a top priority at our school. Our building features secure coded-entry access, and all staff are certified in CPR and First Aid. Teachers also participate in ongoing professional development to stay current with best practices in early childhood education. We are proud to foster a warm, welcoming community where children and families feel supported and connected.

Families stay engaged throughout the day with SproutAbout, our family communication app that provides classroom updates, direct messaging with teachers, and live streaming video access.

We proudly partner with families receiving child care assistance through Scott, Carver, Hennepin, and Sibley counties. We are also preparing to meet the high standards required to earn our Parent Aware rating in 2026 as part of our continued commitment to program quality.
