LEARN WITH US

At Rising Sun Montessori Daycare, we believe that every child learns best in an environment that nurtures curiosity, independence, and joy. We incorporate Montessori-inspired practices into our daily routine, such as fostering independence, encouraging hands-on exploration, and supporting children as capable, confident learners.

We also believe strongly in the power of play-based learning. Play is a child’s natural way of understanding the world, building social connections, and developing problem-solving skills. By blending Montessori methods with play-based experiences, our program offers a rich and balanced approach where children can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

Through purposeful activities and meaningful play, children at Rising Sun develop:

Practical Life Skills – independence, responsibility, and confidence in everyday tasks.

Sensorial Awareness – opportunities to explore, classify, and make sense of the world through their senses.

Language & Literacy – a strong foundation in communication, vocabulary, reading, and writing through stories, songs, and conversation.

Mathematical Thinking – early number sense and problem-solving through hands-on materials and playful discovery.

Cultural & Science Exploration – curiosity about the world, nature, and people through experiments, storytelling, and creative projects.


Our approach combines the structure and intentionality of Montessori with the creativity and flexibility of play-based learning—helping each child grow into a confident, curious, and capable individual.

Here are just a few kind words from our families.

Our son has been going to Raising Sun Montessori for only two months and we have been really happy about it. When he first arrived there, he couldn’t speak any English. However, the staff is always caring and understanding, respecting his time and helping him learn and develop in another language. Now, he’s able to communicate and socialize, he has made many friends, he has learned a lot and he’s always happy to go to school. It’s really impressive what they were able to do and achieve in only two months. I’d definitely recommend this school to any parent who is looking for a loving environment for their kids.

“We saw that our son was well looked after at Rising Sun Montessori, and our family was treated with kindness and respect. The staff were lovely and I knew my son was in great hands there. He would always refer to the staff as his ‘friends’ which showed us that they created a safe, positive and fun environment for the children each day.”

My daughter and I fell in love with Rising Sun Montessori from the moment we visited : all-wood toys and learning tools displayed according to Montessori principles, big open space, plant based snacks, and amazingly kind caregivers/teachers.
Pooja and her mother are passionate about what they do and my daughter has been learning a lot in a short period of time.
I could not have dreamed of a better place for my daughter’s first daycare.
Highly recommend !
