Why Kinder Haus Montessori

A child sits at a table using chopsticks to transfer pink pom-poms from one container to another, engaging in a hands-on activity typical of Montessori preschool Metairie.

Not every "Montessori" school is a Montessori school

The word "Montessori" isn't trademarked. Any preschool or daycare can put it on a sign, whether or not it follows the method. That makes it genuinely hard for parents to tell the real thing from a look-alike. Here is how to tell — and how Kinder Haus measures up.

Our Programs

Our Mission

What real Montessori looks like — and what we do

Trained guides, not just teachers

In an authentic Montessori classroom, adults are trained to observe and guide rather than lecture from the front.

Multi-age classrooms with a three-year relationship

Our Pre-K and Kindergarten children stay in the same mixed-age community for three years. Older children lead; younger children learn by watching. That continuity is impossible to replicate in a single-grade room.

A woman helps a young girl practice writing letters in a notebook at a table, both focused on the task—a wonderful glimpse into the nurturing, hands-on approach found at a Montessori preschool in Metairie.

Real Montessori materials and uninterrupted work

Purpose-built, self-correcting materials, arranged from simple to complex, let children move from concrete to abstract at their own pace — during long, protected work periods rather than constant transitions.

Smaller groups than the state requires

We staff every classroom with the goal of staying below Louisiana's licensing ratios — about 8 children per teacher in Preschool and 12 in Pre-K and Kindergarten — so lessons can be given one child at a time.

We absolutely love Kinderhaus Montessori school! As a parent of a child who naturally loves independence, I’ve loved watching her thrive in an environment that encourages her to explore, learn, and do things for herself. In Montessori school, opposed to a traditional daycare, she gets to participate in meaningful activities like watering the garden, caring for her environment, and learning through both play and structure. I love knowing that her curiosity is being nurtured while she’s also building confidence, responsibility, and real-life skills. It has truly been such a great fit for her! — Lesa Barnum, parent

I went to KinderHaus as a child and now I'm 25 and supporting my sister enrolling my 1 year old nephew. I could not be more happy that they decided to put the little creative genius in this amazing school. I have only good memories from there, and imagine trying to hold onto those from so long ago! Montessori education is a wonderful thing you can choose for your child and if you're in the area, I highly recommend this school, Kinder Haus Montessori! — Bianca Schmidt, parent

When I pulled my son out of daycare to put him in Kinder Haus, I noticed a big difference in his demeanor that first week. He was less cranky and more calm. I knew right then that we made the right choice. And everyone at this school is so great and I love how they love my son. 10/10 recommend 🙂 — Monica Addeli, parent
