We are a Montessori microschool and homeschool community in Wake Forest, NC. Our programs for ages 5-12 are part-time, drop-off, and with a schedule you select. Our educators are state-certified specialists who foster successful, personalized K-8 learning in our Schoolhouse and your homeschool. We accept ESA funds and are truly inclusive.
Every family and child deserves a trusted environment, a caring community, and opportunities for personal and academic development, making us a great option for those searching for a way to make Montessori and practices part of their homeschool.
Dandelion Learning programs are designed to foster the academic and personal success of children in many independent homeschools throughout the Triangle Area - built with a mission to serve and provide learning for all, but not a public or private school, charter, or co-op.
Our highly experienced and credentialed educators are passionate about creating a family-centered community school experience, teaching in the way we always envisioned. Our programs welcome ESA+ funds and are committed to radical inclusion and multi-age learning, providing personalized experiences for all children.
Families can choose their weekly schedules, with options ranging from 2 to 6 half days and lunch club drop-off meetings. Our Academic Year features a full calendar of family events, field trips, parent programs, and Kids for Peace service projects for everyone!
We offer the best practices of a Montessori school. Our programs are for ages 5-12 and our content is designed for kindergarten through 8th grade, ensuring that both social and academic learning are authentic, meaningful, and aligned with the rhythms of childhood and families' goals and aspirations for their children.
In our Dandelion Montessori Schoolhouse, all subject areas and are introduced in a true spiral and available to all children, aligned with each child's unique interests, growth, and development. Our STEAM Project Labs include group exploration and experimentation at each meeting, along with a complete work cycle that includes all content materials and project. This is allshared in a warm and welcoming environment that emphasizes community building, journaling, self-direction, and peace education. Learning is ready when kids are ready for it - with kind and consistent teachers and peers always available in the classroom and on the playground!
With over 80 years of combined experience in education and entering our 8th year as Dandelion Learning Collaborative, we are continually learning and growing, and excited to share insights we've gathered along the way! Your child's pace, your family's path, come walk with us.
