If you are looking for a stellar early childhood program, I highly recommend Wild Roots Montessori!!! Our 4 year old daughter has been there this academic year and absolutely LOVES it. The program runs 8:30-3 M-Th, with affordable aftercare options until 5 pm for working parents, and half day on Friday. They do nature-based Montessori education in a lovely, brand new space by Silver Summit. She really enjoys learning math, science, reading, and especially “Field Trip Thursdays”. They have met with local authors, interviewed olympians, visited museums, made soap from scratch, hiked the Uintas, and so much more. They have a ski program as well, which is included in the cost and run by one of the teachers. They are so caring, gentle, and loving with these kids. The program had 7 children ages 3-7 this year, and is looking to grow to 15 or so. They are adding outdoor play structures and raised garden beds to their property.
I can’t say enough good things about this school. Our daughter has made friends, learned a TON (from phonics to how to escape a tree well in snow 🤣), and can’t wait to do their summer program and return next fall. The teachers have extensive prior experience from other well regarded Montessori schools in Park City, as well as a host of other experiences (gardening, crafting, ski patrol/ski school instruction), which add so much to the curriculum.
