ExcellED Montessori Plus (210-418-3288) refines its curriculum to prioritize discovery-based education, enabling students to explore academic concepts through active, self-directed learning.
-- ExcellED Montessori Plus, a San Antonio preschool serving children from 10 weeks to 12 years old, has adopted a discovery-based classroom model to strengthen early cognitive and social development. The program emphasizes experiential learning, where students construct knowledge through exploration rather than passive instruction.

The discovery model encourages children to investigate subjects that capture their interest, formulate questions, and seek answers through observation and experimentation. Educators act as facilitators who guide inquiry rather than deliver direct instruction.
According to research published in Sage Journals, active participation leads to significantly higher knowledge retention — approximately 75% — compared to the 5% retention rate from passive listening. Physical engagement also stimulates both hemispheres of the brain, promoting deeper comprehension and long-term memory.
"Children absorb knowledge from the moment they enter the world," said Sarit Kapur, founder of ExcellED Montessori Plus. "Since 90% of brain development occurs before age 5, we focus on giving young learners the right tools during this critical window. Our classrooms build critical thinking and problem-solving abilities that children will use throughout their lives."
The format also nurtures collaboration and independence. Students work together to test ideas, present findings, and refine conclusions, fostering confidence and self-reliance through experiential challenges.
Programs are available for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, kindergarteners, and elementary students. The curriculum includes Spanish, music, and yoga at no additional cost, alongside Spanish immersion and summer enrichment programs.
About ExcellED Montessori Plus
Founded by Sarit Kapur, ExcellED Montessori Plus operates as Little Red Caboose Daycare/Preschool in San Antonio, Texas. The school prepares children for academic and personal success through a focus on social growth, emotional development, and independent learning.
Parents have praised the school's impact on their children's confidence and autonomy. "Our 2-year-old is independent. She goes potty on her own, helps clean up, and insists, 'I do it myself,'" one parent said. Another added, "They focus on the entire child—social growth, independence, and confidence. That's what leads to academic excellence down the road."
