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.
