Our goal is to create a peaceful, loving Montessori environment of the highest quality in which children can flourish.
About Maple Tree Montessori Academy
Founded in 2003 by Patricia Sue Cherry, Maple Tree Montessori Academy currently enrolls students for Preschool, Kindergarten and the Elementary grades. Our school is registered with the Michigan Department of Education as a Private School. We are also affiliated with The American Montessori Society, The Michigan Montessori Society, and The Livingston County 4c Council. The teachers at our school are affiliated with The American Montessori Society, The North American Montessori Teacher's Association, and the Association Montessori Internationale.
Maple Tree Montessori Academy is located on Old U.S. Highway 23, just North of Hilton Road in Brighton Michigan. We are near Brighton and Hartland, and because we are located near I 96 and U.S. 23, we are convenient to all of Livingston County.
Our preschool programs offer a full 3 hour session, a.m. or p.m., as recommended by Dr. Maria Montessori. We also offer optional full day Kindergarten and Summer Camp. Our before and after class daycare program is also a Montessori classroom and provides our preschool and elementary students with a consistent, caring and loving environment, a true Montessori Children's House.
We are pleased to continue our Montessori Curriculum into the Elementary grades. We currently offer Lower Elementary and Upper Elementary classes and will provide an Adolescent Program in the near future as the need arises. We are dedicated to the Montessori Philosophy of education and believe very strongly that children flourish in a peaceful, loving environment that is prepared to encourage and stimulate their growth holistically. We believe, as Maria Montessori did, that the hope of the future lies in the child and that peace comes not from war but from education.

Detailed information on our preschool, elementary and before and after care programs as well as enrollment information can be found here. Thank you for your interest in our school.
