About Gables Montessori

A Message for Our Director

When I first opened the doors to Gables Montessori, I dreamed of creating more than just a school—I envisioned a peaceful, nurturing space where children could grow into confident, compassionate, and curious individuals. Rooted in the time-honored philosophy of Dr. Maria Montessori, our school is a place where each child is seen, respected, and encouraged to learn at their own pace, in their own unique way.

At Gables Montessori, we believe that education should nourish the whole child—mind, body, and spirit. Our classrooms are filled with purposeful materials, gentle guidance, and joyful discovery. We emphasize grace and courtesy, independence, and a love of learning that will serve our students for a lifetime.

I invite you to visit our school, observe the peaceful hum of our classrooms, and witness the spark of discovery in each child. We are proud to be part of this vibrant community and honored to walk alongside families during these foundational years of growth.

Thank you for considering Gables Montessori. We look forward to welcoming you.

Warmly,
Mrs. Maderlene Granda Cabrera
Director, Gables Montessori
