About Us
Pincushion Hill Montessori School is an independent, non-profit school that has been educating children since 1962. We offer an exemplary education for children ages 18 months through 6 years based on the Montessori method, including carefully curated garden spaces.
Inside the school, our unique hand painted wall murals winding up and down the staircases represent two distinctive science themes. The first wall mural covers the five oceans of the world. This mural is inclusive of much of the marine biodiversity of our vast seas and oceans. In addition to the depictions, the mural includes real physical specimens as well as information cards. The second mural covers all the major terrestrial biomes and the plant and animal species who live in them. Each mural has a paired satellite map of the world and specimen booklets for the children to complete.
We provide an individualized, multi-sensory curriculum based upon the belief that all children can reach their personal and academic potential. As an authentic Montessori school, we nurture intelligence, curiosity, and imagination while supporting and developing each student’s unique talents. We are passionate about cultivating your child’s love of learning. Each and every day, our students arrive at school excited to greet their friends and participate in new discoveries. They are truly the inspiration for the thoughtful work we do creating vibrant spaces to engage in genuine Montessori education.

Parent Reviews
"Our child’s enthusiasm for learning and the joy she brings home each day is a testament to the dedication and passion the teachers put into their work. We are constantly amazed by the knowledge and skills she is acquiring, and we are grateful for the positive impact they have on her development. We want to take this opportunity to thank Pincushion Hill from the bottom of our hearts for all that they do. Their commitment to nurturing and educating our daughter does not go unnoticed, and we are truly appreciative of the role they play in her life."

Pincushion Hill Montessori School provided a great educational foundation for our children. They appreciated the hands-on learning approach in math and science, along with engaging activities such as gardening and presentations. Beyond academics, the school's observance of social events like Father's Day, Mother's Day, Spring Concerts added a touch of community involvement. It's more than a school—it's a nurturing second home for young minds to blossom.
