About Us

Established in 1993, Agape Montessori School provides an authentic Montessori education focused on the intellectual, physical, social, and emotional growth of every child. We combine secure, outstanding care with an environment that stimulates exploration, empowering children to reach their full potential and make a positive impact on the world.
