Many parents enroll their child in a Montessori preschool with the expectation that they will go to a “real” school for Kindergarten and up. We implore you to stay. If the goal is for children to be happy, confident, curious young adults that are academic high-achievers, they are already in the right place.
Classes will be collecting items for animal shelters, making kits for the homeless, picking up trash around Mt. Laurel, and many, many others. This is a chance for our students to give back to our community.
We are super excited to greet our new head of school today, Dave DeHarde! Let’s give a big Hilltop welcome to our new leader!
Summer is right around the corner and it’s time to think about how to assist your child during the hottest months of the year.

We are always so proud of our young scientists and especially this year! Grayson tackled the science behind mask use and we couldn’t be more proud. HMS has many current students and alumni that go on to compete scientifically not just at UAB, but statewide and nationally. Seeing them continue their interests in science and research makes our teacher’s hearts … Read More
A new study out of North Carolina has provided evidence that COVID transmission in a school setting is relatively low, provided all the health protocols are followed. HMS developed a comprehensive back-to-school plan that includes mask use for ages three and above, daily screenings, and much more but it’s working well. Although we all yearn for what will be a … Read More
