Zoom Meeting
We warmly invite you to schedule a Zoom meeting to learn more about our programs and see if Astor Place Montessori is the right fit for your family. This conversation is a wonderful opportunity to ask questions, share information about your child, discuss any concerns, and talk about your expectations for their early learning experience. We look forward to getting to know your family and supporting you during this important stage of your child’s development.

Tour
After your Zoom meeting, we invite families to schedule an in-person visit. This tour provides an opportunity to see the Montessori environment, observe the thoughtfully prepared space, and get a feel for the calm and nurturing setting where children learn and grow. It also allows us to answer any remaining questions as you consider the next steps for your child’s enrollment.

Vaneen provided a nurturing learning environment where our child truly thrived.
Each day was filled with meaningful, age-appropriate learning opportunities that supported growth in every area — language, motor skills, social development, and early academics.
We also loved the daily outdoor time spent outside exploring nature, getting fresh air.
Vaneen's program provides the perfect balance of education, play, structure, and nurturing care for infants and preschoolers. We couldn’t have asked for a better early childhood experience and would wholeheartedly recommend Astor Place Montessori to any family looking for exceptional care.

"I wholeheartedly endorse you with regard to your abilities and expertise in child care development and education. Your professionalism and care with Brooke in home childcare was amazing and those early stages when we dropped her off starting at 6 months old to almost when she was 2 years (maybe a little older) really facilitated her growth and early learning and making a very smooth transition into preschool."

Ms. Vaneen, you’re one of the few people outside of my family that I would trust my baby with. Matti thrived in the infant class under your supervision.

This is amazing! I only wish my kids were still young so they could attend. My girls and I have such amazing memories!
