Shining Mountains Montessori School

Shining Mountains Montessori School provides safe, nurturing, peaceful, and exploratory environments designed for young children's developmental needs and successes. Montessori, place-based and outdoor education is accessible to children, connecting their micro-community school setting with the wonders of their home that is the Arkansas River Valley.

In recognition of the excellence of our program, Shining Mountains Montessori School was recently awarded a Colorado Shines Level 4 rating, a distinction that demonstrates our commitment to delivering exceptional early childhood education. This rating highlights our strong curriculum, highly trained educators, and focus on supporting the holistic development of every child. Achieving this level of quality affirms our role as a trusted and respected provider in the community. 

As our region faces the challenges of a child care desert, we are actively pursuing an expansion to meet the growing needs of families who lack access to reliable, quality child care and early learning opportunities. We are committed to being a community partner through these efforts. Your tax-deductible donation will support student scholarships, school programming, future expansions, and coordinated Montessori teacher training. Our community of present/future learners and leaders would be so very grateful! Thank you!
