Our Story
At Woodpark Montessori, we pride ourselves on providing a unique and nurturing environment that fosters the growth and development of young minds. Our journey began in 1990, when our founders, Priyanthi and Nimal Sundaram, opened the doors to our first location in Burnsville. With a strong passion for education and a commitment to the Montessori method, we have grown and expanded to become one of the leading private schools in the area.
Our Mission
At Woodpark Montessori, our mission is to provide a loving home away from home by intertwining a compassionate, nurturing environment with a challenging curriculum that meets the needs of the whole child. We believe that every child is unique and deserves a tailored education that caters to their individual needs and abilities. Our goal is to create a school community that values collaboration, respect, and mutual understanding.
Our Services
At Woodpark Montessori, we offer a range of programs designed to meet the needs of children from six weeks to six years old. Our programs are carefully crafted to ensure that each child receives the highest quality education in a nurturing environment. Our balancing of classrooms by age and ability allows for an optimal learning environment, where each child can thrive and develop at their own pace.
Our Philosophy
We believe that education is a natural process carried out by the child and is not acquired by listening to words but by experiences in the environment.
