Discover the Best in Early Childhood Education at The Nurtury Montessori Academy
Montessori education is a proven method that emphasizes self-directed learning and natural development. At The Nurtury, children thrive in a peaceful and empathetic environment where they are free to eat when hungry, rest when tired, and express themselves fully. This approach respects each child’s individuality, promoting growth at their own pace.
The Nurtury provides specialized programs tailored to different stages of development. Infants, from six weeks to eighteen months, are cared for in an environment that nurtures sensory exploration and emotional security. Toddlers, aged eighteen months to three years, engage in activities that spark curiosity and build motor skills. Children in the primary program, ranging from three to six years old, benefit from mixed-age classrooms that enhance social skills, empathy, and leadership. Each program supports the unique needs of the child while fostering a lifelong love of learning.
What sets The Nurtury apart is its dedication to creating a sanctuary of peace and support in a fast-paced world. Children experience meaningful interactions with peers of varying ages, developing confidence and independence through hands-on learning and freedom of choice in a nurturing environment.

The Leading Montessori School loyally serving the Westchester, NY and Fort Lauderdale, FL areas since 2007!
Cathy Billone, with the encouragement of her two daughters, Brianna and Jenessa, decided to fulfill a lifelong dream to open Montessori schools specifically designed for children 0-6 years old.
The Nurtury is a sanctuary of peace, empathy and gentleness within our increasingly fast paced society. At the Nurtury, children will grow according to their own natural pace, sleep when sleepy, wake when rested, eat when hungry, cry when upset, express feelings, play and explore without being unnecessarily interrupted. In other words, the child will be allowed to grow and blossom as each was meant to.

My child attended the Nurtury from about 9-10 months until they were 5 years old and I don't believe a better decision could have been made.

Our experience at the Nurtury was extraordinary. Small, intimate, and the most wholesome, nurturing environment for young children. More than a school, its a culture, and we loved every second of it. Lessons learned here will be taken with us throughout our life!

The Nurtury is a great Montessori environment that stimulates the child's independance in a kind way. Children have autonomy, freedom, and yet great guidance from the teachers, who are simply wonderful and well trained.

Education is the best weapon for peace.
- Maria Montessori
The goal of early childhood education should be to activate the child’s own natural desire to learn.
- Maria Montessori
The Montessori philosophy is a beautiful, expansive, scientific, practical life approach to early childhood education.
Dr. Maria Montessori was the first female medical doctor in Italy within a class of all men. She studied how the human brain developed. From that knowledge, she created the Montessori method for early childhood education. Her approach highlights sensitive periods of learning based on the brain development of the child.
She wrote many wonderful books that explain her studies. However, two of our favorites are The Absorbent Mind and The Science Behind the Genuis.
Based on her studies of brain development and the sensitive periods for the child’s growth, Montessori teacher training is separated into Infant/Toddler (0-3 years) and Early Childhood (3-6 years).
At the Nurtury, we separate it further into three classrooms: Infants (0-18 months); Toddlers (18-36 months) and Primary or Early Childhood (3-6 years).
“Imagination does not become great until human beings, given the strength and courage, use it to create.”
