We are dedicated to the Montessori way and are fully equipped to provide your children with a world of learning opportunities. We facilitate their journey of discovery and mastery of the most basic concepts and knowledge, leading gradually and steadily to higher levels. Children come alive in a Montessori environment paced to the progressive stages in their growth and we share the excitement of children using and developing their own mind and skills.

Founded in 2007 by Karis Larson, Dayspring Montessori School is deeply rooted in the Montessori philosophy, with a special emphasis on music. Karis is not just the founder; she's a passionate advocate for Montessori Education as a powerful tool for guiding children on their life journey and promoting peace.

As the mother of two grown children who thrived in the Montessori way, she knows firsthand the transformative impact it can have on young minds. With decades of experience as a Montessori teacher, Karis is now channeling her boundless love for teaching and her strong musical abilities to empower children, enrich their lives, and cultivate peace within their hearts and minds.

At Dayspring Montessori School, our pillars of strength are Montessori education and music. Karis, along with our dedicated faculty, is committed to imparting their love and skills to children. Our mission is clear: to help children discover their unique talents and encourage them to share their gifts with the world. We believe that by nurturing each child's innate abilities, we contribute to a more harmonious universe.
