Gainesville Montessori – Wildflower Farm Montessori
PRIMARY GRADE 3 – 6 YEAR OLDS
Accepting full-time students for 2024 – 2025.
Limited spot available.
We set ourselves apart from other daycares in Gainesville, Virginia with our unique 10-acre campus that will allow your child to connect with nature. Gardening, tending to hens, and exploring the natural environment outdoors are integral to the children’s daily experience. Our comprehensive curriculum follows the Montessori method (AMI), covering Practical Life, Sensorial Materials, Mathematics, Language, Cultural Studies, Art and Music. A mixed-age grouping, self-directed learning, and individualized instruction are also part of the environment that we strive for, what Maria Montessori emphasized at her children’s houses.
Located down a tranquil, long driveway away from the main road, we offer you the peace of mind that your child is far from the hustle and bustle. Our recently renovated facility has over 1500 square feet of space and a parking lot with ample room for over 20 cars.

“Embarking on a Culinary Journey Paired with Tea Time: Montessori Practical Life at Its Finest
In the Montessori environment, I’ve found that food preparation and cooking offer some of the most engaging practical life experiences. These activities go beyond nourishment; they serve as gateways to independence, creativity, and lifelong skills.
My unique approach involves creating a personalized culinary adventure for children. I believe in empowering them to select their own food preparation activities, granting them ownership of their learning. Rather than relying solely on group cooking sessions led by a teacher, I favor demonstrating a skill and encouraging the children to replicate it. Through this process, repeated and practiced throughout the year, they not only master practical abilities but also develop the confidence and self-sufficiency that will serve them well throughout their lives. This is an individualized culinary journey that sparks a lifelong love for cooking and self-reliance, and to make it even more special, we occasionally pair it with tea time, creating memorable and joyful experiences.”
“Harmonious Beginnings: Music Education at Wildflower Farm Montessori
At Wildflower Farm Montessori, we believe that music is a powerful tool for nurturing young minds. Our Montessori music program, Wildflower Farm Piano, is designed to foster a deep appreciation and understanding of the art of music.
Here, children embark on a melodic journey, exploring the piano as a gateway to self-expression, creativity, and emotional intelligence. Our approach is rooted in the Montessori philosophy, which encourages individualized learning and self-discovery.
Wildflower Farm Piano allows each child to progress at their own pace, discovering the joys of music through hands-on experience and guided exploration. Our mission is to cultivate a lifelong love for music, providing a harmonious foundation for your child’s educational journey.”
