Aldea Montessori is an internationally-certified AMI Montessori school in North Phoenix that nurtures and educates children ages 18 months through 3rd grade in the tradition of Dr. Maria Montessori. Our goal is to develop the mental, emotional, social, and physical potential of each student. Specifically, we strive to bring forth a well-rounded child with the ability to interact effectively and the motivation to meet the challenges of the future. Aldea is the Spanish word for village, which describes the atmosphere in our environment. Through consistent and loving examples, our children learn independence and interdependence, each becoming a member of the village. They learn to accept responsibility as a member of the community.
