Before & After Care
Our Before & After Care programs at Madison Montessori Academy provide a seamless extension of your child’s school day with nurturing supervision, enriching activities, and a strong sense of community.
Our Philosophy
We believe that the hours before and after school are vital for social, emotional, and creative growth. By offering a well-balanced mix of structured routines and child-led exploration, we support each student’s need for engagement, relaxation, and connection.
