Let Nature Nurture Your Child

Each child has different needs. Traditional classrooms can’t always give children the dedicated attention and support they need to flourish. Ampersand Schoolhouse uniquely offers an organic setting, which embraces the true Montessori vision, including nature and all the beauty and inspiration that it provides. We provide the individualized education that every child deserves. Owners Lindsay Rice and Stephanie Beaulieu saw a need for organic pre-school and early child development centers. They founded Ampersand Schoolhouse to help fill that need.

Apply for Enrollment

At Ampersand Schoolhouse, we believe that a small class size best serves our students so that every student gets the attention they need, while still providing opportunity for peer mentorship. Our school has a total of 10 full-day seats and 5 half-day seats available (1/2 Day seats are reserved for children 4 and younger). CLICK HERE to download our Application for enrollment.

Our Mission at Ampersand is to ignite a love for learning within the children we serve. Ampersand provides a nurturing environment for kids between 2.5 and 6 years of age, where they can build and develop a respect for the natural earth, their social surroundings, and society as a whole, all while respecting and cherishing their inner selves. We view each child as one who is naturally eager to learn and believe that the adult’s role is to unfold this innate sense of wonder and curiosity while assisting him or her to develop a foundation of confidence within his or her self and community.
