Dear Prospective Pincushion Families,

We are delighted that you are interested in our school and have stopped to view our website.  Pincushion Hill Montessori School is unique because of its rich history and heritage in the Metrowest Boston community. While Montessori education began over one hundred years ago, it is more relevant today than ever before. Pincushion has a special place in the hearts of many as a place of respect, integrity, and values, where a foundation for life is developed through a diverse and balanced curriculum.

Looking for a High Quality Education for your Preschool, Kindergarten, or Elementary aged Child?

  • Founded in 1962, Pincushion Hill Montessori School is the oldest continuously operating Montessori school in Massachusetts. Pincushion Hill is a member of the International Montessori Council. Pincushion Hill serves more than 100 children ages 2.9 to 10 years old. We are dedicated to nurturing children's innate love of learning and preparing them to succeed in all aspects of their life.
  • Pincushion Hill offers full-day preschool, kindergarten, and elementary education (through grade five), an after school program until 6:00 p.m. daily, and a 10-week summer program.
  • Beyond our core curriculum, all students are introduced to Spanish, art, music, and library science through our specialist (humanities) programs. Our elementary students also participate in physical education, including a 12-week swim program.
  • The learning continues through the after school program at Pincushion Hill (available until 6:00 p.m.). It is another meaningful opportunity for children to socialize, develop life-long friendships, have fun, and explore nature studies in the vast gardens. We also offer many diverse after school enrichments: Robotics (elementary), art, music, yoga, dance, physical education, Mandarin and Destination Imagination (elementary) and a variety of private music lessons.
  • We are conveniently located in Ashland near the Framingham line, in the heart of Metrowest Boston near I-90, Rt. 9 and Rt. 135, as well as Holliston, Dover, Wayland, Hopkinton, Natick, Wellesley, Sherborn, Westwood, Southborough, Holliston, Weston, Millis, Shrewsbury, Northborough, Needham, Sudbury, Waltham and Westborough.

Pincushion Hill Montessori School does not discriminate in providing services to children and their families on the basis of race, religion, disability, cultural heritage, political beliefs, or marital status.

Parents Say...

  • We would recommend Pincushion to any parent!
    Hongmei Wang

  • We trust that Chris and Gus will do whatever they can to keep the quality and the integrity of the school for years to come.
    Priya and Rajesh Yadav

  • We love the fact that the classroom doesn't have those noisy shiny commercial toys. All the work materials are very carefully designed to make learning fun and natural.
    Ernest Ng and Elsa Leung

  • The multi-age setting and the daily activities and interactions with their teachers and other students have helped them develop rapidly in ways academically, socially, and being emotionally intelligent.
    The Purimetla Family

  • Everyone helps to create a safe intellectually challenging environment where diversity is celebrated and curiosity is rewarded. The proof is in my daughter's smile every time she talks about what she is learning and in our amazement in the depth and breadth of her knowledge at such a young age.
    The Allen Family

  • The school has an excellent after school and child care program which is so beneficial for working parents.
    The Pandian Family

  • The enrichment program at Pincushion is very good as well. Emily loved the art program so much that she keeps drawing and coloring at home endlessly after she comes home from school.
    The Zhang Family

  • If that's not enough, let me tell you that they have brought home food from their garden at school that went right into dinner.
    The Iffih Family
