Welcome to Our School

Say hello to Preston Ridge Montessori! We have offered daycare and preschool in Alpharetta, Georgia, since August 1988, near Alpharetta High School and Preston Ridge Commons. Staff in our classrooms hold American Montessori Society and Montessori certifications.

Children ages 18 months to 6 years can learn with us, starting in Toddlers and moving through Primary. We keep daycare flexible with Drop-in Care and Part-time schedules, so care fits your week. Wondercamp adds screen-free fun to summer, with a different theme each week, such as Wonders of Mess Making. Throughout the year, children explore literacy, math, science, practical life skills, and social-emotional learning in thoughtfully prepared environments. Hands-on math helps children understand big ideas by working with concrete materials.

Soccer builds teamwork while children play with friends, and STEM gives children hands-on ways to ask questions. See what else we offer in enrichments on this page. Our art studio gives children a place to create. Outside, children enjoy a playground that is separated by age. Livestreaming video gives you a window into the classroom, so you can feel part of the day.

Healthy and varied meals and snacks are the standard here, and trying new foods is always welcome. We keep safety first so every child can feel at ease, explore freely, and enjoy the day.

Toddler Care

1.5 – 3 years 1:8 Staff-to-Child Ratio
At this age, children use their bodies, senses, and emerging problem-solving skills to learn about and make sense of their world in ways that are meaningful and effective to them. Toddlers actively seek out information, learn quickly and easily, and are especially interested in being independent. We allow them the freedom to learn as much as they can as quickly as possible. 
Currently Enrolling

Primary Program

2.5 – 6 years 1:15 Staff-to-Child Ratio

As children mature, they see practical life exercises that adults find commonplace as interesting and extraordinary, such as sorting, pouring, and washing dishes. Because control and coordination of mind and body is still developing, the Montessori Method includes tangible experiences with concrete materials used to learn math, movable alphabets to explore language, and cubes, cylinders, and other shapes to categorize, find spatial relationships, and more.
