Who are we?
We are a Christian school that focuses on the fundamentals of Montessori. We follow Maria Montessori's philosophy and we are dedicated to cultivating each child's natural desire to learn while helping them reach their full potential. Our safe and supportive environment allows each child the freedom to develop at his or her own pace. Children are encouraged to respect others as well as themselves, and in the process, develop a strong inner discipline and sense of self-worth.
Available programs
Morning Program - This is an intro to school program. Students are able to be slowly introduced to schooling concepts and atmosphere.
3K – Full Day – Start your child on the road to success. This program offers a morning full of concept introduction through hands on activities and an afternoon of concept review through more guided activities that also foster person - person social interaction and freedom of imagination.
4K – Full Day – As your child nears Kindergarten, we continue to use mornings to teach new and increasingly difficult concepts to challenge our students. We still use our hands on activities to explore the world around us. Traditional learning methods will also be introduced at this age.
Advanced 4K – Full Day - Is your child’s birthday in September? Did they miss the cut off birthday date for public school but have already completed the 4K program at Londonderry? The Advanced 4K program is your answer. The students in this program join with our kindergarten class to advance their learning before continuing the kindergarten next year.
Kindergarten – It is time for the big time. Come see for yourself why our Kindergarten students continue to impress first grade teachers in both the public and private sectors. Our continued hands-on approach to learning while also growing in the traditional teaching methods, combined with small class sizes make our kindergarten a step above. We offer two enrollment options; kindergarten only hours or kindergarten with before and after school care.

Admissions policy
Londonderry Christian Montessori School does not discriminate based upon age, race, ethnicity or physical disability. LCMS accepts children between the ages of 3 years and 5 years. All children must be fully toilet-trained and fully up to date on all of their shots. Children who qualify by age for the local public school Kindergarten program will be considered for our Kindergarten program after consultation between teacher and parents.
The admissions procedure at LCMS is a two-fold process. It is designed to give parents an opportunity to learn about the school, its philosophy and policies, and to meet our faculty. It also gives us an opportunity to assess each child's situation and determine whether we are able to meet the needs and expectations of the parents. Our goal is to enroll families who will both benefit from and contribute to the school community.
