Welcome to Cardan Montessori Center

Cardan Montessori Center strives to create a nurturing and enriching environment for children aged 6 weeks to 12 years.

 

Rooted in the principles of Maria Montessori, our child-led and hands-on curriculum fosters independence, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning. We celebrate each child's individuality, providing opportunities for exploration and growth at their own pace. Committed to making Montessori education accessible, we proudly offer Free Preschool through the Ohio Department of Education and are an affiliate provider with Hope Toledo Pre K. Our center has earned the Gold Award through Step Up to Quality, reflecting our dedication to excellence in care and education.

 

Join us on this exciting journey! We look forward to partnering with you to help your child thrive in our supportive community.

Our Features

Functionality You Will Love

Staff Competencies

At our center, every teacher is trained in First Aid/CPR and receives comprehensive instruction on Communicable Diseases. All staff members are Mandated Reporters and complete training on Child Abuse and Neglect to ensure the highest standards of care and protection. Our Lead Teachers possess at the minimum a Child Development Associate credential or a higher degree in Early Childhood Education. We actively support our staff in pursuing Montessori credentials and ongoing training, fostering a culture of continuous professional development throughout the year.

Wellness and Safety Procedures

Ensuring a safe and healthy environment for our children and staff is our top priority. To achieve this, we implement a variety of measures, including daily sanitization and cleaning protocols, as well as a comprehensive emergency disaster plan. Our secure campus features key fob entry and is monitored by security cameras. Additionally, we conduct monthly and quarterly fire and tornado drills to prepare for emergencies and ensure the safety of the Cardan Community.

Classroom Ratios

Maintaining low teacher-to-student ratios is crucial for ensuring that each child receives the individualized attention they need to thrive in the classroom. At Cardan Montessori, we not only comply with the ratios established by the Department of Children and Youth, but we also maintain even lower ratios in alignment with our Gold Award rating from Step Up to Quality. As an affiliate provider with Hope Toledo, our preschool classrooms benefit from reduced ratios, further enhancing the quality of education and support we provide to our students.

As a new parent, finding a daycare that I could trust was paramount. Cardan Montessori is a place that I have always trusted with my babies. I trust them to keep my girls safe, fed, and clean. I trust that they will teach my daughters with patience and comfort them with kindness. I recommend this place to any parent looking for a daycare with an extra bit of heart and soul. They are a locally owned and operated center so we get to see the owners regularly. I drop my sweet girls off feeling like I've left them with family.
