Welcome!

Nautilus Montessori School  offers your two to six year old child either a full-day or half-day school experience.   Established in 1980, our private school provides a  comprehensive set of Montessori materials, extensive supplemental materials, a formal music education program, conversational Spanish,  a well maintained outdoor play space, and commercial indoor toys. With our intimate, comfy home setting and maximun1:7 teacher to student ratio, children receive much attention and loving care.

As a twelve month academic environment, enrollment is accepted throughout the year.  The same order of activities occurs each day, to give the children a sense of security and knowing what comes next.  Preschool , Pre-Kindergarten, (Transitional), and Kindergarten children work side by side each morning.  Pre-Kindergarten, (Transitional), and  Kindergarten children have additional class focus on Language Arts, Math, Sciences, Arts/Music, World Historical Figures and Peace Education in the afternoons.

Young two and three year old children who require an afternoon nap are welcome to spend all-day at Nautilus Montessori School on Mondays and Fridays.  Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoons are reserved for Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten children who do not require an afternoon nap.

Kindergarten age children who attend public Kindergarten in the mornings, also attend Nautilus Montessori School in the afternoons.  Our academic Kindergarten provides your Kindergarten age child with one to one focused attention, and a curriculum not offered in the public sector.  Afternoon Kindergarten is offered Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoons.

Nautilus Montessori School continues as an American Montessori Society full member school.  There were only four AMS full member schools in the Greater Sacramento Area for the 2009-10school year!

  Available student positions are filled on a first come, first served basis.
