For nearly 50 years, Goldberg Montessori School (GMS) has been a place where:

• Children are known,

• Families are welcomed, and

• Learning grows from each child’s natural curiosity.

GMS is intentionally a small community, and it is one of our greatest strengths and one of the things that sets us apart. Our small teacher-to-child ratios allow our educators to truly know each child - their personality, interests, strengths, and individual needs.

With a 1:4 teacher-to-child ratio in our Infant classroom, 1:6 teacher-to-child ratio in our Toddler classrooms and 1:8 ratio in our Primary classrooms, children receive meaningful individual attention throughout their day. Our teachers have the opportunity to observe each child closely, build genuine relationships, and thoughtfully respond to their unique plane of development.

At GMS, children are not simply part of a classroom. They are known, valued, and seen. We prioritize the individual child and create an environment where every child can grow with confidence, independence, and a strong sense of belonging.

As the oldest Jewish Montessori early childhood and kindergarten program in the Southwest United States, GMS brings together the child-centered philosophy of Dr. Maria Montessori with the richness of Jewish life, values, and tradition.

What began in 1977 as a single classroom and Mother’s Day Out program has grown into a thriving community serving children from infancy through kindergarten. Over the years, more than 5,000 families have been part of the GMS community, creating a legacy that reaches across generations. Today, GMS remains a place where children, families, and educators build meaningful connections that often continue long after a child’s years at school.

Our classrooms are designed around the belief that every child has a unique path to follow. From infancy through kindergarten, children are given the time, space, and encouragement to explore, make choices, develop independence, and discover the joy of learning. Our Montessori-certified educators carefully observe each child and thoughtfully prepare an environment that meets children where they are while encouraging them to take their next steps with confidence.

In our thoughtfully prepared Montessori classrooms, children learn through hands-on experiences and meaningful work. Practical Life activities nurture independence, coordination, concentration, and care for self and others, while materials in language, mathematics, sensorial exploration, and other areas invite children to investigate, problem-solve, and build a strong foundation for lifelong learning. Rather than asking every child to learn in the same way or at the same pace, Montessori honors the individual child and supports learning through discovery, repetition, and growing independence.

At the heart of GMS is our Jewish community. Jewish values, traditions, culture, and learning are woven naturally into the children's daily experiences. Through celebrations, stories, songs, Hebrew, holidays, and meaningful connections to Jewish life, children develop a sense of belonging and begin to understand the traditions that connect generations.

Our dedicated educators bring:

• Decades of Montessori experience,

• Knowledge of Judaic studies, and

• A deep commitment to knowing and nurturing each child.

At GMS, we believe education is not simply about preparing children for the next grade, it is about helping each child develop a strong sense of self, a love of learning, compassion for others, and the confidence to follow their own path.
