Who we are

Guaria Montessori is a family childcare program in Newton for children 18 months-4 years old, with a focus on the Montessori philosophy. Our small and peaceful environment allows for individualized learning and personal interaction between the child and the Montessori teacher, creating a strong relationship with the children's families. Our program provides a quiet and tranquil working experience, fostering a sense of calm and focus for the children.

Our Spanish immersion program is designed to ensure that children have the opportunity to learn a second language, which is incredibly valuable for their overall development. By immersing children in the Spanish language, we aim to provide them with the tools and skills they need to become bilingual and culturally aware individuals. We believe that by giving children the gift of a second language, we are setting them up for success in the future.
