At EdQuisitive Montessori, curiosity drives every lesson. We blend the timeless Montessori philosophy with inquiry-based learning (IBL) — helping children think deeply, act independently, and love learning for life.
What Is a Montessori Preschool?
Montessori education empowers children to learn through exploration and discovery. Instead of memorizing answers, they build understanding by asking questions, experimenting, and reflecting on what they see.
Every Montessori classroom is designed for self-directed learning — where children choose their work, move freely, and develop focus, confidence, and empathy.
“The goal of early education should be to activate the child’s own natural desire to learn.” — Maria Montessori

How EdQuisitive Montessori Makes It Modern
We pair classic Montessori materials with inquiry-based learning, a modern framework that teaches children how to think, not what to think. Teachers encourage curiosity through thoughtful questions, guided exploration, and reflection.
Each day, children make hundreds of small choices — which add up to more than 13,000 decisions a year — building confidence, decision-making, and problem-solving skills.
Bilingual and Beyond
Children are natural language learners. Our bilingual Montessori classrooms, offered in English and Spanish, expand communication, creativity, and cognitive flexibility.
From songs to science, both languages are part of each day — helping children connect learning across cultures and subjects.
A Legacy of Excellence
EdQuisitive Montessori was founded by the leadership team behind Excelled Montessori, the first preschool in San Antonio to launch virtual learning during COVID. Edquisitive grew to five campuses across the city, serving thousands of children and earning a reputation for innovation and compassion.
Together, we bring more than 20 years of early-childhood experience, combining proven Montessori methods with forward-thinking educational design.
