About Montessori
What is Montessori?
Montessori is an education philosophy that fosters rigorous, self-motivated growth for children in all areas of their development, with a goal of nurturing each child’s natural desire for knowledge, understanding, and respect.
More than a century of practice
Something different is afoot.
For more than a century, the child-focused approach developed by Dr. Maria Montessori, an Italian physician, has been transforming schools around the globe. As soon as you enter a classroom, you know that something different is afoot.
You will see children working independently and in groups, often with specially designed learning materials, deeply engaged in their work and respectful of themselves and their surroundings. The Montessori Method fosters growth in every area of development: cognitive, emotional, social, and physical.
The Montessori Method
Student focused and self-paced.
Guided, assessed, and enriched by knowledgeable teachers, the leadership of their peers, and a nurturing environment.
A multi-age community
Designed to create natural opportunities for independence, citizenship, and accountability.
At their own pace
Children follow their curiosity, taking the time they need to fully understand each concept and meet individualized goals.
Confident, self-directed learners
Montessori students grow up to think critically, work collaboratively, and act boldly and with integrity.
Our philosophy
Encouraging every child to be curious.
We believe that an environment that encourages individuality can spark a child’s desire for learning. Purposeful tasks help children achieve self-satisfaction, and self-satisfaction leads to motivation.
The first six years are the most important in a child’s life. By exposing our children to the Montessori Method, we build a solid foundation to further their development and unlock their potential, encouraging them to ask questions and think outside the box.
Whether you are a working parent or looking to provide advanced education for your child, our staff is dedicated to fostering social, motor, sensory, and cognitive development at each stage of your child’s life.
