A Word from our Principal.
Some may think it a daunting task to choose a school for their child; Footprint Montessori acknowledges the challenge while providing a wonderful solution. Not only are you selecting where and how your child will be educated, but also where he or she will grow into a confident, capable young person. You are choosing an educational home where your child will love learning, feel valued, and be an active contributor to the community. That is why our admission process is designed to give you many different opportunities to assess whether this is the right school for your child. I urge you to attend all the learning opportunities that are a part of our admissions process. I hope you'll come and learn with us.
