How to Schedule a Free Tour at Montessori Children’s House
If you’re exploring preschool or daycare options in West Des Moines, there’s no better way to get a feel for Montessori Children’s House than to see it in action. Touring our school gives you an authentic window into our classrooms, curriculum, and caring community—and scheduling one is quick, easy, and free.
Why Schedule a Tour?
Whether you're new to Montessori or comparing options for your toddler or preschooler, a tour helps answer big questions:
What does a Montessori classroom look like?
How do children spend their day?
What’s the difference between Montessori and traditional daycare?
You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of our individualized approach, our teacher-to-child ratios, and how our curriculum nurtures both academic skills and emotional development.
What You’ll Experience During Your Visit
We recommend booking a morning tour between 9:00 and 10:30 AM—this is when children are in the middle of their three-hour work cycle, deeply engaged in hands-on learning. Here’s what you can expect:
Classroom Observations: Watch as children independently choose work, collaborate with peers, and learn through exploration.
Meet Our Team: You'll meet our Admissions Coordinator, Kim Baack, and have the chance to speak with our experienced, Montessori-trained teachers.
Ask Questions Freely: Our tours are private, allowing you time to ask personalized questions about schedules, tuition, curriculum, and your child’s unique needs.
Peaceful, Purposeful Environment: See how children move calmly through the space, building independence and confidence in a structured yet nurturing setting.
