Ages 2.5 – 3
A warm, home-like setting where our youngest learners develop language, coordination, and independence through hands-on exploration.
Ages 3 – 6
The heart of Montessori — a 3-year cycle where children master reading, math, science, and culture through self-directed work periods.
7:30 AM – 5:30 PM
Flexible before- and after-school care that extends learning through unstructured play, enrichment activities, and a nurturing home-away-from-home.
We go beyond Montessori materials — we build a complete ecosystem of trust, discovery, and belonging for every child and family.
Our program follows the authentic Montessori method — the same philosophy used in thousands of accredited schools worldwide — ensuring developmental rigor and joy.
Every lead teacher holds Montessori certification. They don't just teach — they observe, respond, and build a trusting relationship with each individual child.
Our intentionally small ratio means every child is truly seen, heard, and supported. No child ever gets lost in the crowd.
We celebrate diverse cultures, languages, and traditions — creating a rich tapestry of global perspectives that prepares children for the world they'll inherit.
CCTV-monitored, secure entry, background-checked staff, and regular safety drills — because your peace of mind is as important as your child's happiness.
As a Women & Minority Business Enterprise, we bring a unique lens of equity, inclusion, and purpose to every aspect of our school community.
Saritha Vellore founded Milestones Montessori of Dayton with one clear vision: to create a school where every child is truly seen, celebrated, and empowered to reach their full potential.

Real moments from our classrooms, outdoor spaces, and community celebrations — because a picture truly says a thousand words.
Don't just take our word for it — hear from the families who trust us with their most precious gift.
The Montessori method, developed by Dr. Maria Montessori over 100 years ago, treats children as capable, curious individuals — not empty vessels to be filled, but flames to be kindled.
Every material in our classrooms is purposefully chosen to invite exploration and independent discovery at each developmental stage.
Children aged 0–6 have a unique capacity to absorb information effortlessly from their environment — we design every experience to enrich this natural gift.
Three-hour work cycles allow children to enter deep concentration — building focus, persistence, and intrinsic motivation that lasts a lifetime.
Younger children learn by observing older peers; older children reinforce their knowledge by teaching. A natural, beautiful cycle of community learning.
"The greatest sign of success for a teacher is to be able to say, the children are now working as if I did not exist."
— Dr. Maria Montessori
