Over the years, we have continually enhanced our facility and offerings to create a nurturing and educational environment for children aged 18 months to 6 years.

Parents Review Of Us

Best Montessori in White Plains

September 11, 2025

We are pleased with our son’s progress at Athena. He has learned so much from his teachers including numbers, writing, days of the week and months of the year. Most importantly, I know Mrs H (the owner) deeply cares about ‘her’ kids.

Her teachings and lessons were the beautiful result of love, devotion, knowledge, patience, trust and determination

September 11, 2025

The moment you meet Ms. H you understand the real mission behind a true teacher. I know why her classes were so popular and why students and parents loved her so much. I had the pleasure of being her assistant teacher for one year and I was moved and inspired by her lessons. Her teachings and lessons were the beautiful result of love, devotion, knowledge, patience, trust and determination. She inspired each teacher, each child and each parent to be the best version of themselves and to love every creation on our planet. Ms. H made an impact on my life and I was touched by her gentle traits.

Gem in White Plains

September 11, 2025

My toddler spent one semester and a summer time here before enrolling in a certified Montessori school in Wilton. I am passionate about Montessori and have done researches on Montessori myself so I know Montessori. The school founder Ms.H is a seasoned Montessori teacher who has her whole life devoted to kids education. I recommend her program if you want a true Montessori education program for your kid but do not want to deal with the tedious procedures or potential lack of attention from teachers you might experience in big Montessori schools. Overall it is a gem in White Plains.
