A Christian Montessori Program
Faith. Independence. A Love of Learning.
Abundant Grace Montessori Community is a small Christian Montessori program where children are nurtured academically, spiritually, socially, and emotionally in a peaceful, Christ-centered environment. Our Montessori approach encourages children to develop independence, confidence, responsibility, and a lifelong love of learning, while our Christian foundation points children toward the truth, love, grace, and character of Jesus Christ.
We intentionally keep our community small so that each child is known, valued, and supported as an individual. Through hands-on Montessori learning, meaningful relationships, and biblical teaching, we seek to partner with families in helping children grow into capable, compassionate, and Christ-centered individuals.
A School Designed to Be Small.
Abundant Grace is intentionally small by design. Our intimate school community allows for individualized instruction, mixed-age learning, meaningful relationships, and close partnership between teachers and families.
We offer a microschool model within a Christian Montessori environment, giving children the benefits of a small school while maintaining the rich, hands-on learning experience of Montessori education.
Learning Through Joyful Discovery
Montessori is an educational approach that recognizes each child as naturally curious, capable, and eager to learn.
Rather than relying on worksheets and one-size-fits-all instruction, Montessori classrooms are thoughtfully prepared with
hands-on materials that encourage exploration, independence, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning.
Children are given the freedom to choose meaningful work, develop practical life skills, build confidence, and progress at their own pace
with gentle guidance from a trained teacher. Mixed-age classrooms foster collaboration, leadership, and a strong sense of community.
Our Daily Schedule
8:00-8:30 Arrive & Settle
Children are dropped off and enter the classroom independently. They begin with a quiet activity,
allowing for a calm, gentle transition into the day before gathering together at 8:30.
8:30-11:30 Morning Work
We begin each morning together with a prayer, devotional, and quick lesson.
Children then engage in a long, uninterrupted work period. During this time, children are free to choose
activities that interests them, move at their own pace, and engage in focused, meaningful work.
11:30-12:30 Recess and Lunch
When the weather allows, we enjoy lunch outdoors, followed by time to play and explore.
Our outdoor space encourages imaginative play, movement, and friendship,
giving children the chance to recharge before returning to the classroom.
12:30-3:00 Afternoon Work / Rest Time
Children who benefit from a midday nap have the opportunity to rest in a quiet, peaceful space.
This peaceful break helps them return to the classroom refreshed. Children who do not nap engage in an afternoon work cycle, continuing with purposeful activities. Following rest time, the napping children join.
3:00-4:00 Recess and Community Care
At the end of the day we will enjoy time outside together exploring.
The children will also help tidy the classroom, gather their belongings, and prepare for dismissal.
This routine builds responsibility and care for their environment.

Montessori Education at an Accessible Price
A high-quality Montessori education doesn't have to be out of reach for families. Private Montessori tuition varies widely across the country based on location, program hours, age, and school offerings. National estimates commonly place full-time Montessori tuition in the range of $12,000–$18,000 per year, with many programs costing even more. At Abundant Grace Montessori Community, we have intentionally designed our tuition to make a Christian Montessori education accessible to local families while maintaining a small, personalized learning environment. We believe families shouldn't have to choose between a beautiful Montessori education and an education rooted in Christian faith.
Statement of Faith
“For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace.” - John 1:16
At Abundant Grace Montessori Community, we believe that every child is uniquely created by God, deeply loved, and full of potential. Our educational approach is guided by Christian faith and a commitment to nurturing the whole child—spiritually, emotionally, socially, and academically.
We believe:
-
There is one God, eternally existing as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
-
Jesus Christ is the Son of God, whose life, death, and resurrection provide salvation and reconciliation with God.
-
The Bible is God's inspired, infallible, and inerrant Word and serves as our guide for faith, character, and daily living.
-
Every person is created in the image of God and possesses inherent dignity, worth, and purpose.
-
God calls us to love Him and to love our neighbors with kindness, compassion, respect, and service.
-
Children are gifts from God and should be nurtured in an environment that encourages wonder, independence, responsibility, and a lifelong love of learning.
-
Prayer, gratitude, stewardship, peacemaking, and care for others are important expressions of Christian faith.
As a Christian learning community, we seek to cultivate an atmosphere of grace, respect, and encouragement where children can grow in knowledge, character, and faith while developing the skills needed to thrive in the world around them.
Our Founder, Molly Hamilton, holds a Bachelor of Science in Educational Ministries from Campbellsville University and a Montessori certification
from the Center for Guided Montessori Studies.
With 15 years of experience in childcare and the last 8 years dedicated specifically to Montessori education, Molly has worked extensively with children ages 3–6 in classroom environments. Throughout her career, she has cultivated a deep passion for the Montessori philosophy and its commitment to honoring the whole child—academically, socially, emotionally, and spiritually.
Molly has been married for 12 years to her husband, Brad, a pastor on staff at a local church, who has played an integral role in shaping the vision of Abundant Grace. His support and spiritual guidance have been foundational as this long‑held dream has grown into reality.
Abundant Grace reflects Molly’s desire to create a learning environment that blends the beauty of Montessori education with a Christ-centered worldview. She believes children flourish in spaces that balance freedom with structure, nurture independence, and weave truth, beauty, and purpose into daily learning.
Early in her Montessori journey, Molly recognized how naturally the method aligns with Christian education. Maria Montessori herself emphasized the significance of religious and spiritual development in the life of the child, acknowledging their innate sense of wonder and connection to God. Molly is committed to honoring this dimension of growth as an essential part of nurturing the whole child.
Through Abundant Grace, Molly seeks to partner with families in raising confident, capable, and compassionate children—grounded in strong academic foundations and shaped by a Christ-centered understanding of the world around them.
