Mission
Children
Our mission is to nurture each child’s curiosity and love of learning in a Montessori environment that fosters independence, respect, and joyful discovery. We support the whole child—mind, heart, body, and spirit—through hands-on learning and thoughtful guidance, helping them grow with confidence and compassion.
Family
Our work begins with the child, but it doesn’t end there. We walk alongside families as partners in formation, not just providers of curriculum.
Together, we nurture character, confidence, and community.
Community
Our hope and purpose are to foster a collaborative, inclusive community where families feel supported, informed, and truly connected.
Vision
“We envision a community of families grounded in love, hope, and truth—where each member is respected, supported, and engaged in mutual growth through service, grace, and learning.”
Core Values
We aim to raise joyful, life-long learners who faithfully steward their time, talents, and treasures to serve others in their community and beyond until everyone knows someone who truly follows Jesus.
Christ-Centered
Christ is at the heart of all we do—honored, exalted, and treasured above all. His love, truth, and grace guide how we teach our students and form the foundation of the trusting, compassionate relationships we build with the families we serve.
Montessori-Inspired
We are committed to authentic Montessori education, preserving the integrity of its philosophy and methods. Through careful observation, prepared environments, and respect for each child’s natural development, we cultivate independence, curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning.
Transforming Communities
We cultivate a community learning together, sharing responsibility, forming authentic relationships, and offering help generously, so that each person can grow into the fullness of who they are meant to be.
Faithful Stewardship
We honor God by wisely managing the time, people, expertise, and resources entrusted to us. CHLA esteems integrity: We use what we’ve been given to serve others, support our mission, and build a lasting impact in our community.
