One of two schools in the Claremont area that operate under the Montessori education system, International Montessori Preschool accepts students between the ages of three and six years. Classes attempt to socialize children and to teach the basic elements of being part of a team and working well with others. There is a small outdoor play area and although it is located on a busy highway, the outdoor area is enclosed, safe and secure. There is also a registered nurse on duty at all times.
