A Community United by Shared Beliefs
We believe that children are fundamentally peaceful, curious, and good, and our schools are designed for children to thrive. We believe the same things about teachers, and our schools reflect our understanding that schools can work for children and families only if they work for educators. We work together in ways that reflect our deep trust in each other and our understanding that everything and everyone, everywhere, is connected.

Wildflower Teacher Leaders in Their Own Words
"In the same way that Montessori answered the question about how to do education better, Wildflower has answered how we do school better."
Sarah Tupper
Indigo Montessori
From the Wildflower Parent Community
"Every detail of the classroom encourages independent learning and exploration. The guides are highly trained Montessori experts who ensure every child is intellectually challenged and deeply supported."
Cactus Bloom Community School, Grand Junction, CO ​
"It's an incredible school that has brought an immense amount of richness to our lives. My son has grown astronomically in his confidence and knowledge."
​
The Montessori Field School,

"The teachers here are phenomenal. Their ability to connect with and understand our son, who has ADHD, is extraordinary. What they bring goes far beyond books or experts; it's real, heartfelt insight that makes all the difference."
