Jain Montessori – Where Wonder Meets Wisdom

Jain Montessori is a boutique preschool serving children ages 3–6, blending Montessori, Reggio Emilia, Waldorf, and nature-based learning. We offer a peaceful, academically rich environment where curiosity leads, literacy is loved, and life skills are learned through joyful, intentional work.

Practical Life + Nature + Play

Hands-On Learning, Life Skills & Nature Play

At Jain, children care for animals, garden, scrub cloths by hand, cook, clean, and create. Our practical life and nature-based activities nurture independence, responsibility, and connection. Through seasonal play, mud kitchens, and movement, childhood is honored the way it was meant to be , messy, magical, and meaningful.

Literacy + Art + Peace Education

Literacy-Rich, Arts-Infused & Rooted in Peace

Our program fuses Montessori’s complete language system with the Science of Reading and Waldorf’s whole language approach. Children learn to read and write in an environment filled with story, song, and creativity. Daily circle time cultivates emotional regulation, mindfulness, and empathy, building not just scholars but humans with heart.

Meet the Director

Ms.Rachelle

Hi, I’m Rachelle - Director and Co-founder of Jain Montessori. I’m an artist at heart, a mom to two amazing daughters, and I’ve been teaching young children since 2013.When I first discovered the Montessori method, everything clicked. It wasn’t just a teaching style — it was a philosophy that aligned perfectly with how I believe children learn best: through hands-on exploration, independence, and joy. Earning my Montessori certification has been one of the most heartfelt and rewarding journeys of my life.My passion lies in creating a warm, nurturing space where children can experience the magic of learning and create a strong foundation for the rest of their lives. I believe in making a difference in the earliest chapters of a child’s story — where self-esteem is built, wonder is celebrated, and a lifelong love of learning begins. And that’s exactly what we’re building here at Jain Montessori.I can’t wait to welcome you to our school family.
