FireFly Montessori

At FireFly, our dedication lies in fostering the holistic development of every child while inspiring a lasting passion for learning. Together with children, families, and our school community, we infuse curiosity into all aspects of our approach, cherishing and nurturing each child's distinct interests and learning preferences. Through an authentic Montessori program, we prioritize offering ample time and space for every child to thrive at their own pace and in their own individualized way.

We are an intentionally small, teacher-led school. Our staff are not just valued; they are truly the heartbeat of our community. From the very start, we have remained committed to offering financial assistance and scholarships to families in need, firmly believing that Montessori education should be within reach for all.

This year’s GiveNOLA Day campaign theme, “Buzzing About Books,” supports our goal of raising $3,500 to fund 250 new books and literacy materials that will directly enhance classroom learning and daily programming for our students.

Testimonials

"Firefly truly is an amazing little program. Amanda's love & dedication to teaching Montessori principles is practically palpable. Our son has really been thriving under her tutelage, and the small class size really allows for personalized attention. The environment is organized beautifully, homey & warm, encouraging curiosity & attentiveness. We're truly sad it's our sons last year." -N.M., former FireFly parent.

"We absolutely want our child to continue at Firefly. His growth this year has been enormous in our eyes," - K.D., FireFly parent.
