Welcome to
Fountain of Light Montessori Inspired Home-Schooling
A nurturing, home-based learning environment rooted in love, curiosity, and lifelong growth.
Programs
At Fountain of Light Montessori Inspired Home-Schooling, we offer three age-specific learning environments designed to support each developmental stage:
A nurturing space for our youngest learners to explore safely and begin building independence and trust.
Nido (1–2.5 Years)
Toddler Community (2.5–3.5 Years)
Hands-on learning through play, routine, and simple tasks—fostering early coordination, language, and social development.
Casa de Niños (3.5–6 Years)
A rich, mixed-age environment where children work independently, develop focus, and explore foundational academic concepts.
About us
Our Montessori-inspired homeschool supports young children in developing independence, joy, and a deep love of learning—right from the heart of our home.
About the Educator
“A child’s light shines brightest when nurtured with love.”
Hi, I’m Elsy Grullon—a devoted mom, home educator, and passionate believer in the power of gentle, purposeful learning. Fountain of Light Montessori Inspired Home-Schooling is a reflection of my own childhood experience at a school called Fuente de Luz, where a kind teacher named Lolita changed my life. I’ve never forgotten her warmth and wisdom.
Today, I carry her legacy into my own homeschool, hoping to create that same light-filled experience for my children—and yours. Every moment here is guided by connection, respect, and the belief that each child is capable of amazing things.
Our Montessori Curriculum
Our curriculum follows the child—adapting to their needs, interests, and pace. It includes:
• Practical Life – Independence, care of self and environment, responsibility
• Sensorial Development – Refining the senses and concentration
• Language – Phonetic awareness, reading, storytelling
• Mathematics – Numbers, counting, patterns, and problem-solving
• Cultural Studies – Nature, geography, music, art, and science
• Emotional/Spiritual Growth – Gratitude, mindfulness, peace, and empathy
Our Educational Philosophy
At Fountain of Light Montessori Inspired Home-Schooling, we believe education is not just preparation for life—it is life.
Our approach is grounded in Montessori principles:
• Respect for the Child – Every child is unique and worthy of dignity.
• Prepared Environment – Orderly, beautiful spaces that invite independence.
• Freedom Within Limits – Children choose their work while learning respectful boundaries.
• Learning Through Doing – Children learn best when they move, touch, and explore.
We create an environment where children are free to be themselves and grow into who they are meant to be—with joy, confidence, and purpose.
“The child gives us a beautiful lesson – that in order to form and maintain our intelligence, we must use our hands. ”
“Children have a tendency to imitate. They must adapt to this world and be able to do all the things that are done in the environment. They imitate for this reason. ”
“We must look to the children as a vehicle for bringing change to humanity. ”
