Nurturing Growth in the Early Years

At Love, Learn & Laughter Montessori, we provide a loving and secure home away from home environment where children can grow, explore, and discover with confidence.

Research shows that the years between birth and age six are the most critical for learning and development. Our child-centered, age-appropriate Montessori approach supports each child’s curiosity, independence, and natural desire to learn.

Children’s learning experiences focus on building both academic readiness and essential life skills—preparing them not only for school, but for life. We maintain an open-door policy and value strong communication with families, working together to provide a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment for every child.

Our Teachers

At Love, Learn & Laughter Montessori Preschool & Childcare, our teachers have a combined background in Montessori training, early childhood education, and child development, as well as a Multiple Subject Teaching Credential and extensive experience working with infants, toddlers, and preschool-aged children.

Every teacher is CPR-certified and participates in ongoing professional development each year. Our skilled staff have been part of the Love, Learn & Laughter family for years, bringing warmth, creativity, and consistency to our program.

Together, we share one common goal: to create a safe, loving, and learning-rich “home away from home” environment, where every child feels valued, supported, and inspired to grow.

From One Parent to Another

Dear Parent,

Thank you for taking the time to consider Love, Learn & Laughter Montessori as a place for your child to grow, explore, and thrive.

Becoming a mom changed the course of my life. When my children were little, I felt a calling to create a safe and nurturing home environment where young children could learn, play, and develop a love for discovery. In 2002, I opened my first home-based early learning school—a dream that truly set my life’s direction.

As my passion for Montessori teaching deepened, I received an education from Adrian Montessori Teacher Education Institute. In 2013, I fulfilled another dream by opening Love, Learn & Laughter Montessori Preschool and Childcare Center—a beautiful space that welcomed families, supported children’s independence, and celebrated the joy of learning.

Now, in 2026, life has come full circle. I’ve chosen to sell my center and return to a smaller, home-based learning environment—the same kind of setting where this all began. With the arrival of my first grandchild, this new chapter feels especially meaningful. I’m returning to my roots and the heart of what inspired me from the start: creating a calm, loving place where children are free to learn and grow through the Montessori foundation.

At Love, Learn & Laughter, every child is seen, respected, and encouraged to become their best self. It’s a home where love, learning, and laughter continue to grow—one child, one family, and one joyful moment at a time.

With love,
Jennifer Duncan
Owner / Montessori Educator
