Where curiosity blooms
Door County Montessori is a preschool in Fish Creek, Wisconsin, nurturing independent minds through the Montessori approach in the heart of Door County's natural beauty.
It has been absolutely incredible to watch our 4-year-old son grow during his time at Door County Montessori! He always looks forward to his day at school, where the small class setting is calm, and the teacher, Miss Olinski, is so patient, kind, and supportive. Over the last year, he has become more independent and confident in his abilities. Door County Montessori has nurtured his innate love of learning, exposed him to new areas to explore, and helped him thrive in his social/emotional well-being. We're so grateful for Miss Olinski and Door County Montessori!Â

We have adored having our son at Door County Montessori. Grayson has become a more independent, advanced boy because of Miss Olinski's patient and encouraging approach. The different hands-on work has created an atmosphere where he feels more confident to experience new things. We cannot wait to continue to see Grayson grow in such a wonderful environment!Â

Our family had such a great experience at Peninsula Roots Montessori in Door County. The small class size made it feel really personal, and my son was genuinely known and supported. I loved the focus on the whole child—not just academics, but independence and practical life skills, which we notice improved at home too.

The classroom felt calm and peaceful, with a patient teacher and a kind group of children and parents. The Montessori approach really helped my son grow, especially with early math concepts and letter sounds. Most of all, his confidence grew so much during his time there, which has been amazing to see!Â

Door County Montessori has been an incredible experience for our son and our family. From the first moment we reached out, we were met with genuine care about how to create the best experience for our child. Door County Montessori was our son's first school experience at age 3 and he blossomed, gaining confidence and independence with Ms. Olinski's guidance, consistency, and patience. We love how the class size is small, ensuring lots of the one-to-one guidance and attention and I appreciated being able to volunteer some days for lunch and outside time. I would wholeheartedly recommend Door County Montessori to any family!
