We are dedicated to providing a Montessori education to children ages 2.9 to 9 (third grade). Our mission is to uphold the principles and practices set forth by Dr. Maria Montessori.
To develop the skills necessary for active and intelligent exploration and a lifelong love of learning
To encourage self-discipline and a positive sense of self
To create an environment that allows for optimal learning experiences, community awareness, and respect for others
To foster a passion to embrace all of life with respect and love
Designed to Meet the Needs of Each Individual Child
Dr. Maria Montessori believed that education is a natural process spontaneously carried out by each individual child. Our staff acts as guides in multi-age classrooms, helping children feel good about themselves and all they can accomplish.
Every classroom is prepared with carefully designed Montessori materials that take advantage of the child’s innate desire to learn. Our students develop a natural love of learning that lasts a lifetime, and approach the world with self-confidence, intellectual curiosity, joy, and respect.
