About us
Creekside Montessori: Joyful Learning Community is a school established by parents and educators to meet the needs of a growing population of students who do not thrive in the traditional education system. We believe that learning should be a natural, joyful experience. It is our hope that every child who deserves this experience can be a part of our school.
We serve ages 3-12, with the intention of expanding to older students as soon as we are able. We are set up as a non-profit, so any donations are tax-deductible.
Creekside Montessori is here to work with families to create a peaceful community of diverse, respectful, self-motivated and independent learners who seek out and joyfully embrace academic and social opportunities.

I am a wife, a mother to three littles, a beekeeper, reader, artist, yogi and homesteader, among many other interests. I never expected to be a teacher — in fact I vowed not to be. That was before I found the Montessori philosophies. Through learning alongside my students in an environment that leaves room for curiosity, fun, mistakes and just being ourselves, I have rediscovered the passion for learning that I left behind in my early school years.
The best way to understand Montessori is to watch it happen. Reach out to Margaret to schedule a visit or ask a question.
