About the Business
Montessori Kids Universe Short Pump is a premier educational institution located at 3450A Lauderdale Drive in Richmond, Virginia, United States. As a unique school offering daycare, childcare, preschool, and kindergarten programs, MKU Short Pump focuses on a child-centered approach that nurtures a lifelong love of learning. The carefully prepared environments in our classrooms provide abundant resources for children to explore and learn. Our proprietary DaVinci Kids curriculum integrates art, science, technology, engineering, and math, sparking creativity and curiosity in young minds.
At MKU Short Pump, we offer an authentic Montessori-Reggio inspired curriculum that goes beyond traditional daycare and preschool programs. Children benefit from a holistic learning experience that includes gardening, foreign language, yoga, music, and cooking. Through a combination of Montessori and DaVinci Kids curriculum, children develop self-confidence, independence, and a passion for learning.
Our infant care environment is designed to be cozy and warm, providing a safe space for mobility and exploration. Toddlers and pre-primary children engage in hands-on learning experiences that cater to their natural curiosity and problem-solving skills. The mixed-age Primary program offers individual and one-on-one learning experiences, following the Montessori method.
During the summer, our children embark on a fantasy trip around the world through our unique summer curriculum. DaVinci Kids enrichment activities foster creativity through arts and sciences, while our gardening program allows children to plant and harvest fruits and vegetables in our school gardens.
At Montessori Kids Universe Short Pump, we believe in providing a well-rounded education that extends beyond language and mathematics. Our enrichment activities, including yoga, music, and cooking, offer a variety of benefits for our students. Join us at MKU Short Pump, where children learn to love learning in a nurturing and inspiring environment.
Reviews
"I have worked for MKU Short Pump since the beginning of 2022 and I absolutely love it. This program has so many opportunities for career growth and support for their staff. The students are happy and well cared for!"
"MKU is amazing! Our son loves going to school every day. All the teachers and staff are very welcoming and call him by name.. he enjoys saying hi and bye! The daily reports are very detailed and provide specifics on all activities, his interests, development and what they’re working on. I can tell the teachers really care and that means the world. He loves circle time, spending time in the library, exploring new Montessori materials and playing outside. He is learning so much and we couldn’t be more pleased! Highly recommend =)"
"Both of my children transferred from Goddard School and graduated from preK here at MKU, and we are glad we did! They had nothing but positive experiences at MKU! The staff are very well educated and trained, professional, and supportive! The owners Sun and Ed are super involved and remain committed to ensuring the kids are well educated, nourished and mannered. They bring in arts, crafts, science, reading as well as cooking, sports, and play into everyday agendas. They transitioned well from the Montessori method to the public school system and have been excelling ever since. We highly recommend MKU lauderdale!"
"We LOVE MKU. We had our son in another daycare nearby that was chaotic, unorganized, and was sensory overload even for myself. We switched our son and within days he was comfortable and confident going in each morning and seems content to stay, even when it's time to leave. Any concerns have been promptly addressed and the Head of School is eager to develop a partnership between parents and staff to maximize education and development."
"I started working at MKU a month ago so I could get a space for my 2 year old daughter. As an early education specialist of 13 years, this school is spot on. The owners are committed to doing things right and the teachers are happy and well cared for, which shows inthe care they give the children. So excited for both our futures here!"
