Beginning Montessori Academy is part of the United Methodist Church and is located only a block away from downtown Baldwin.
The Montessori is a pre-school and works with children ages three to five. The Montessori takes a non-regimented approach to assisting the children in their learning, allowing them to progress at their own speed through a number of teaching games and activities.
Children are encouraged to grow and push themselves, without the formal structure of a normal pre-school. The school offers multiple playgrounds, all containing plastic playsets and numerous activities for children. Play areas are fenced in for additional security.
The actual school is positioned in the rear of the property, and visitors are required to drive around the church to reach the school's lot.
