As our community in Sterling continues to blossom, Aya Montessori is expanding our teaching team. We are an established, close-knit school deeply committed to authentic Montessori philosophy, serving children from birth to age 6.

Our facility was intentionally built from the ground up with the child in mind, featuring beautifully prepared classrooms that connect directly to an expansive nature playground. Unique to our school, our authentic Montessori environments are enriched with Arabic language learning and spiritual development through Islamic education.
