Welcome to Mariposa Montessori School. The word mariposa, which means “butterfly” in Spanish, aptly captures the creative and independent spirit of the children’s educational experience.  A butterfly symbolizes a new beginning and awakening to novel and exciting experiences; also, the wings of a butterfly signify independence and freedom.  Mariposa Montessori prides itself in helping develop and encourage the independent spirit of children – allowing them to soar to uncharted heights.
