Comprehensive Montessori
Childcare Services in Visalia

At Greenhouse Montessori School, we understand the needs of modern working parents and provide a nurturing, non-institutional environment that supports your child’s growth throughout the day.

Unlike traditional daycare, our childcare program is integrated with our mastery-based Montessori curriculum, ensuring that your child’s development—independence, focus, and academic skills—continues seamlessly during their time with us.

We’re proud to provide excellent childcare before and after our morning and afternoon academic sessions to assist working parents. This time is still guided by our principles of freedom to move, explore, and create, and provides a “home away from home for our full-time students.
