At each of our Montessori preschools we offer a Half Day and Full Day program which includes the Montessori Primary Educational program.

At Hunter Mill Montessori School, the Half Day Preschool Program hours are 9:00 a.m. to noon (in the Kindergarten year the hours are 9:00 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9:00 a.m. to  noon on Fridays). The Montessori Full Day Preschool Program hours are 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. The Full Day Program includes a lunch period, a rest period, and additional play time on the playground and in the classrooms.

Snack Time

The school provides a nutritious snack during the morning and also in the afternoon. Children bring their own lunch from home. View more information about school snack.

The Kindergarten Year –
Montessori’s Third (or Fourth) Primary Year

A child who turns 5 years old before September 30th is eligible to enroll in the kindergarten year. Children enrolled Half Day stay for lunch and additional work period in the afternoon. Children enrolled Full Day have an additional work period in the afternoon instead of a rest period.

Our schools consider the Third (or Fourth) year the culmination of a child’s work in the Montessori Primary Environment. For further information, please see the Quick Link.

When it came to choosing a preschool for my grandson, we could think of no more perfect place than the sylvan setting of Hunter Mill Montessori. At Hunter MIll Montessori, parents and grandparents alike can see students expand their horizons as they learn academics, social skills and independence. We couldn't be more pleased!

Our family chose HMMS not only because it was recommended by all of our neighbors (and we have a lots of them) but once you step into the school, you can feel the warmth of the school community and its teachers. Our three sons attended HMMS and have far exceeded our expectations, socially, and educationally. 

The Woltz Family

Both of our kids went through the full program including Kindergarten and we could not have been happier with it. The kids loved school and Mrs. Cook and the rest of the teaching staff were engaged, responsive, and so clearly cared about all the kids. 

We chose [the school] nearly decade ago after touring many other local schools. We found its student/teacher ratio, cleanliness and educational program to be the best fit for our three children. As a working parent, I wanted a place where my child safe and cared for, while learning in an environment that met each of their different needs. 

Holly Brook Montessori School was an incredible experience for our son. He is ahead in math in elementary school, has great social skills, and is very respectful to his teachers. I give all of this credit to HB for helping to make him a well-rounded individual. Can't wait for our second to attend.

We were part of the Holly Brook family for 6 years. Our boys learned so many useful skills from math, reading, independence, and public speaking that set them up for success. One of the reasons we picked the school was due to how well they welcome international families and how open they are to learn about other cultures and traditions and incorporate them into their curriculum. We highly recommend this preschool, you will not regret it. - Sara
