The Montessori method is an educational approach developed by Dr. Maria Montessori that emphasizes child-led learning, hands-on activities, and mixed-age classrooms.

Most Montessori programs in Rockville serve children from infancy (as young as 6 weeks) through age 6, with some extending to elementary and even middle school. The core Montessori age groups are infant/toddler (0–3 years), primary/preschool (3–6 years), and lower elementary (6–9 years).
Montessori school tuition in Rockville typically ranges from $800 to $2,000+ per month for full-time enrollment, depending on the child's age and the program.
