About
Monarch Montessori School

We are a nonprofit school grounded in Montessori pedagogy, accessible to families of all incomes, that places the needs of the children first. Located on the East Side of St. Paul, we serve children 33 months through six years of age. 

Music Specialist

We are beyond excited to announce our Music Program at Monarch! Theresa, a talented violist, ukulele player, and music teacher designs interactive lessons. Our biweekly musical experiences get children moving, singing, and playing instruments. Theresa also helps us learn the basics of musical composition and appreciate an array of genres.

"Music is a world within itself, with a language we all understand." -Stevie Wonder

Testimonials

"It’s hard to really do justice to just how incredible our son’s experience at Monarch Montessori has been. I toured many different schools, but when I walked into Monarch Montessori and met Ms. Julia and Ms. See and I could immediately tell that this place was different and really special.

My high energy son has just excelled at Monarch. He’s able to follow the classroom expectations and is so excited about learning! He’s learned to identify how he’s feeling and regulate his responses. He has formed so many wonderful friendships.

I cannot recommend Monarch enough! I wish every child got to experience learning and growing here. If you are looking for a place that will help your nurture your child’s social, emotional, and academic growth then Monarch is it."

-Theresa, Parent of Monarch student
