FAQs

Our name comes from combining “education” and “inquisitive.” It reflects our mission — to nurture children’s natural curiosity and turn questions into confidence.

EdQuisitive Montessori was founded by the leadership team behind Edquisitive Montessori, which pioneered virtual preschool during COVID and grew to five campuses in San Antonio. EdQuisitive continues that 20-year legacy with a renewed focus on curiosity, inquiry, and modern Montessori learning.

We welcome children ages 0–5 years — from infants to pre-kindergarten — in age-appropriate Montessori classrooms. We also offer after-school and summer programs for children 5-12 years.

We offer several flexible options to meet each family’s needs:
Full-Time Program: 6:30 AM – 6:30 PM (includes extended care depending on campus)
School-Day Program: 8:30 AM – 2:45 PM
Part-Time Program: two or three day sessions, available for select age groups
