A Montessori preschool and Elementary school for families seeking something different.
Serving children 3-10 years old in Dade City and Pasco County, Florida.
Blazing Stars Montessori School is a small, nurturing preschool and Elementary School in Dade City, Florida. Our school was designed for families looking for a more connected, hands-on, personalized learning experience. At Blazing Stars, children learn through meaningful, self-directed work in a warm community of peers and adults.
Founded by educators with over 20 years of experience in Montessori and general education with deep roots in our local community, Blazing Stars is a member of the Wildflower Network, a national network of small, teacher-led Montessori schools. We are proud to be one of the first Wildflower Schools in Florida, and to offer something genuinely different for Pasco County families. Now entering our fourth year, we blend the energy of a new school with the steadiness of experience.
Enrollment is now closed for VPK for the 26-27 school year. Only 5 spots remaining in our Kindergarten and Elementary programs.

What You Can Expect from Blazing Stars
An Authentic Montessori School
The Montessori Method emerges from the belief that children are naturally good, peaceful and curious and that in the context of a supportive environment, all children engage instinctively in the work of self-construction. With appropriate freedoms and the right support, children follow their interests to create rich learning experiences, form peaceful communities, and support and learn from one another. We are dedicated to the preparation of environments and ourselves to support the development of children.
An Intentionally Small and Connected Community
Our small size allows us to serve every child and family in deep and meaningful partnership while fostering a warm and welcoming community of families. Looking for your village? We might be it!
A Place for All
Blazing Stars Montessori is building an intentionally diverse group of children, teachers, and families. We strive to reflect the community we serve.
