We know that learning is easier when you have an excellent teacher. Our head teachers have a Montessori certificate that is nationally MACTE certified as well as a Bachelor's degree.

Our educators and staff are passionate about teaching young children and they bring this enthusiasm into their classroom.

Philosophy

About Maria Montessori

Maria Montessori is credited with creating a powerful method for teaching young children. Her method was based on scientific research and observation. Although she was the first female in Rome, Italy to become a Doctor, her work with children has been her greatest achievement. Montessori schools exist all over the world and span ages 0 to 18 years of age. The majority of schools, however, serve the 2.5-6 year old population.

MONTESSORI CREATIVITY AND INDEPENDENCE

Maria Montessori concluded that children learn best by freedom in a prepared environment. The "teacher" is more of a "guide" for the children to aid them toward self-development. The Montessori environment is filled with beauty, organization and age appropriate activities that span 3 years. This multi-age grouping is very intentional in that the younger children learn from the older children and the older children develop a sense of leadership and care for their community. Creativity and Independence are encouraged through individual instruction and experimentation with the materials.
