Welcome to Brilliant Stars Montessori Home

Brilliant Stars Montessori Home is a nurturing daycare center in Portland, ME, designed to support children during their most important stages of growth and development. As a new Montessori preschool, we are dedicated to providing high-quality child care that respects each child’s individuality while fostering confidence, independence, and a lifelong love of learning. Our approach follows a full Montessori curriculum delivered by certified professionals who understand that children learn best through hands-on exploration and meaningful experiences. As a trusted early learning center, we offer an engaging early education program that supports cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development. Children move at their own pace in a thoughtfully prepared environment that encourages essential life skills, curiosity, and a love of learning in a calm, supportive setting.

We provide a comprehensive preschool program designed to cultivate focus, problem-solving, and creative thinking. Our early childhood program helps children build independence while preparing them for future academic success. For our youngest learners, our toddler care emphasizes sensory exploration, routines, and gentle guidance during these formative years. Brilliant Stars Montessori Home also offers flexible options for modern families, including part-time care and structured after-school program opportunities. These programs provide a safe, engaging space where children can continue learning beyond the traditional school day through supervised activities and creative enrichment.

Creative expression and movement are central to our philosophy. Our creative enrichment program incorporates music, art, yoga, and movement activities that foster self-expression, coordination, mindfulness, and overall well-being. Sensory and hands-on learning experiences are integrated throughout our curriculum to encourage curiosity, exploration, and deeper understanding. At Brilliant Stars Montessori Home, every activity is thoughtfully designed to nurture the whole child—mind, body, and spirit. Families seeking a high-quality Montessori-based early learning center are encouraged to contact us today to learn more, schedule a visit, and give their child the support, guidance, and inspiration they need to thrive in their early education journey.
