Our Story

Pincushion Hill Montessori School has been educating children since 1962, offering an exemplary Montessori program for children ages 18 months through 6 years. We are deeply committed to each child’s education and to supporting families as a whole.


At Pincushion Hill, children learn in a nurturing yet challenging environment, exploring hands-on materials and guided lessons in core academic areas, including language, math, science, and geography. Rooted in Montessori philosophy, our program fosters each child’s natural curiosity, independence, and a lifelong love of learning.


Each day, our students arrive eager to greet their friends and embark on new discoveries. Their joy and curiosity inspire the thoughtful work we do—creating vibrant, engaging spaces that support authentic and meaningful Montessori education.
