Top Montessori Pre-Primary School in Paoli, PA
Help your children achieve their full potential by enrolling them in our Montessori pre-primary school in Paoli, PA. We provide quality educational programs for children aged 18 months to 3 years old, focusing on developing their learning skills. At the International Montessori Schools at Paoli Inc, toddlers learn independently at their own pace. Our classes provide a safe and supportive environment where students play while learning important life skills such as language and communication.
Learning Language & Communication Skills
In our classroom, pre-primary students develop a broad vocabulary that will help them throughout their lives. Our experienced teachers introduce vocabulary and grammar creatively, reading books aloud, playing videos, and singing songs. Additionally, kids use age-appropriate materials that develop essential language and communication skills. The combination of adult support and class materials results in students learning to communicate with peers, parents, and teachers.
Developing Motor Activities
Our Montessori program for toddlers considers physical activities crucial for students’ growth and development. Kids are encouraged to engage in active play outside and inside the classroom. Physical activity develops their gross and fine motor skills, which helps them coordinate their movements. We complement motor activities with sensory materials and equipment in the classroom that allow pre-primary children to strengthen their skills, creativity, and imagination.
We are open Monday - Friday, 7:30 am - 5:00 pm and offer the following programs for children 18 months – 6 years of age:
- Full or half days (9 am-3 pm and 9 am-12 pm)
- Before and after care (7:30-9 am and 3-6 pm)
- Summer Camp – 7-week program July – August
If you're interested in enrolling your child, please call us today to schedule an appointment.
My son spent time in IMS Paoli for two years. He always wanted to go to the school even on weekends because there were nice teachers and lovely friends.I love to see kids playing in the playground and taking care of chickens. I’ll never forget this amazing experience.

IMS Paoli is a joy of a school. My daughter who was nervous to attend absolutely loves the school. They are so kind and in tune with the children. They have a large outdoor component with chickens and gardens. The inside is lovely and warm.

As a teacher, I was very concerned about finding the right childcare for my son. We toured IMS Paoli and immediately fell in love with the director and beautiful school. Our son loved the independence that a Montessori program provided and really thrived in the pre primary classroom. He had attended a traditional daycare previously and frequently cried throughout the day and was very unhappy when he had to go to school. He is now in the primary classroom and it is really amazing how independent, mature, and self motivated he has become. Our babysitter commented on his personality saying that he is more mature than a seven year old she babysits and I know it's due to the Montessori environment. Our 10 month old daughter goes to IMS Great Valley and Silvia is a baby whisperer. Our daughter did not leave my side for the first five months of her life but really bonded with Silvia. She is truly a gem. While I miss my children during the day, I have absolutely zero worries about them and know that they are happy and well cared for.
