Summer Session / Summer Camps

Children learn and play while engaging in fun activities geared towards special topics of interest.

My 2 year old started daycare at the toddler house a few months ago and we are just obsessed. Becky, the director, along with my sons two teachers, Ms. Enquist & Ms. Egan, are just truly wonderful. The daily reports are wonderful, and at times hilarious. There’s always been great communication and we just love it there.
Our first grader and preschooler LOVE North End Montessori. This school offers so much! The before and after school care made life simple for us - letting us drop off and pick up both kids at the same time and location. With no transportation needed for before or after school care it was easier and safer for the kids. The classrooms are filled with kids who enjoy being at school and are led by teachers who care about their children. The facilities are excellent, with an indoor gym, fenced-in playground, and proximity to infant childcare and the Currier Museum.

In addition to the convenience, the school offers a classroom atmosphere that allows students to learn at their own pace and on topics that interest them. I feel our first grader was challenged academically and learned to love academics. Reading, math, music, Spanish, extra science and art enrichment courses. He even participated in a national spelling bee competition. There are many hands-on activities and extra courses.

Our kids never came home complaining about school, teachers, or peers. They would sometimes complain about being picked up too early, even though they were at school for before-school and after- school care. They genuinely enjoyed their time at North End Montessori.

Lastly, the teachers and administrators were accommodating and communicative whenever we had questions or concerns. I can enthusiastically recommend this school to anyone and wish there were more schools like it.
Right now, my son is in the Toddler House. he started 2 days per week and we/he loves it so much that we started sending him for 3 days per week. He is always excited to go and I love that they have monthly curriculums. I see my son learning what they say they are teaching 😊
one example is they said they were learning so about different animals and creatures one month. my son came home one day and dumped out all of his plastic animal toys which he has NEVER played with and wanted to make them!
My 7 year old son and 9 year old daughter have been attending this school for 4 years. Every morning, they go to school with a smile and are happy to learn. The teachers are great!
Great school! Loved the teachers!
I highly recommend North End Montessori! My granddaughter has been enrolled since January and is absolutely thriving! The staff is great and we are so happy with the care and love she gets from her teachers. We have noticed such a difference in her academic and social skills. She loves going to school!
My child has been at north end Montessori for 2 years now just starting her 3rd and we couldn't be happier with how everything has gone. The teachers are absolutely amazing, they dont just teach but care for the children! My daughter has grown so much in all areas since she started! Plus the cleanliness of the school and also the great security system makes me feel so comfortable sending my child to school.
My child is thriving here. They have a wonderful staff that is very much engaged with the children. I've got my son on the waitlist for the toddler room already!
Our 2 girls (2 and 4 years old) love it here! They are always so excited to go to school! The school is clean, the teachers are great and I love that the doors are coded and secure! Plus a great space to play outside!
Our family has had such a wonderful experience with North End Montessori. My son has loved it from day one and begs to go even on weekends. Our older child went to several other preschools and nothing has compared to North End! It is a beautiful facility with an amazing staff.
