About Whiteland Montessori

Whiteland Montessori School is licensed by the State of Pennsylvania as a Private Academic School that offers Preschool and Kindergarten programs.

Whiteland Montessori School was founded in 1995 in beautiful Chester County. We recently renovated a historic farm house that has charm and warmth.

We take pride in offering your child a home away from home.

Dr. Montessori believed that the child is in a state of continuous and intense transformation. This is what Whiteland Montessori School teaching staff believes as well. A child’s mind assimilates impressions from the environment. It works to construct the individual he or she is to become.

In our classroom, the emphasis is not on competition, but on mutual cooperation. We work for the fullest possible development of each child to his or her capabilities.

Learning through experience

At Whiteland Montessori School, we allow our children to learn through their own experiences in an exciting and educational environment. We cultivate the child’s natural desire to learn.

As teachers, our role is to provide an ever-changing environment to constantly stimulate and interest each child.

Our classroom is comprised of children with mixed ages which range from 2.7 to 5 years of age.

Working in small groups or independently, the children have the freedom to choose their own activities. These exercises incorporate Montessori equipment and also traditional math and reading materials. Artistic endeavors are offered and encouraged daily.

It is our goal to provide an atmosphere of tranquility and joyful accomplishments. We adhere to Dr. Montessori’s teaching so that the child will have a solid foundation and be free later in life to develop his energy more exclusively to intellectual development.

Whiteland Montessori School Curriculum

The Montessori curriculum at Whiteland is taught in pre-school and kindergarten programs with a 5-to-1 student-to-teacher ratio.

From our families:

“Whiteland Montessori is truly the best. The teachers are loving, sweet,creative, and fun. My son always felt safe and cared for and their emphasis on kindness was clear through how loving the students were towards each other. We wished he could stay there forever but he was well prepared for elementary school when the time came to go to first grade! We can’t wait to send his sister there in a few years!” – Liz

“Our experience at Whiteland Montessori was excellent. We sent our oldest son here for two years, pre-k and kindergarten, and we all absolutely loved it. He looked forward to going to school every day. The learning environment is one that fosters creativity, independence, kindness, exploration. Not only did our son learn so much academically but he also grew socially, making some of the very best friends. All of the teachers are so warm and kind and wonderful and their love for their students is evident in everything that they do. We are so grateful to them for making our son’s first school experience such an amazing one. We are excited to send our youngest son to Whiteland when he is old enough!” – Martha

Both of our daughters went through preschool here, so they were a part of our lives for many years. They became like family to us. It is such a loving and caring learning environment for preschool-age children. The teachers are phenomenal, and you can see how much they love and care for each of their students. They are warm and kind teachers who are very knowledgeable and create a wonderful learning experience for growing children. The school itself is beautiful and clean with a fun and inspiring atmosphere. Our daughters enjoyed their time here so much. They miss it and still talk about ‘going to Whiteland Montessori’.
