- Our Educational Philosophy. We are committed to preparing your child in the best way possible. That's why our school has chosen the Montessori Method for your child's learning experience.
- Low Student-to-Teacher Ratios. In this educational setting, it is important to the students that they receive the specialized indiviual attention that they deserve. With this in mind, our school keeps the ratio of students to teachers at 9 to 1 and in our toddler room, it does not exceed 5 to 1.

* Your child reading, writing and doing math before first grade!
* Your child being encouraged in a fun, safe, and loving environment.
* A low student to teacher ratio where your child can receive the individual attention they deserve.
* A clean, well-maintained school with a staff certified in the Montessori method.
* A school that really cares about the well-being and education of your child.

That is us, the Sandia Montessori School.

Our institution is best suited for those wanting to cultivate the "whole child." We use Montessori Methods - which obtained the best results in studies - rather than other educational methods commonly used to educate children. Montessori Methods utilize the child's natural tendency towards play as an instrument for learning. We use special materials and employ techniques that inspire each child to explore, learn, and question their environment. Social skills, discipline, manners, and other very important life skills are gently guided and reinforced throughout this process.
