The Children's Garden a Montessori School

The Children's Garden a Montessori School is a preschool in Henderson at 963 MacKenzie Creek Ave in the 89002 zip code, serving children ages 3 to 6. That single 3 to 6 bracket follows the Montessori primary model, which mixes ages in one community so younger children learn from older ones and older children practice leadership.

The program list covers a Primary Program, a Half Day Program, and a Full Day Program, which gives families a choice between a morning only schedule and a full school day. Before Care and After Care appear on the program list as well, which matters for parents working standard hours, and a Summer Program keeps the school running when the academic year ends. The listing marks the school as operating year round.

The classroom setup reflects standard Montessori practice. The listing names prepared classrooms and Montessori materials, meaning the hands on learning tools children choose from shelves and work with at their own pace, along with a natural outdoor environment for time outside. Instruction is in English.

Several practical details are not recorded in this listing. There are no posted hours for specific days, no tuition figures, and no information about trial visits, sibling discounts, or scholarships, so treat those as open questions for the school. Henderson families comparing preschools will want to ask about the daily schedule, the half day versus full day cutoff times, and how before and after care hours wrap around the core program.

The best way to get those answers is to call (702) 481-1606 and ask about a tour. Montessori primary classrooms are easier to evaluate in person than on paper, since the calm of the room and the way children handle materials tell you more than any brochure. The school's website has additional background on its approach if you want to read before you visit.
