Mills Montessori School is dedicated to providing a warm and accepting environment which promotes the physical, emotional, social and cognitive development of each child.
Our emphasis is not on short results, but on growth and development in the right direction. The Montessori approach tries to arouse the child’s interest, to stimulate and to provide a learning atmosphere. This is called by Dr. Maria Montessori as a “prepared environment” which promotes an interactive learning experience for the child, hence allowing for a more engaged time in the classroom both academically and socially with teachers and other children. Also, we try to establish a sense of freedom in our children, encouraging them to develop their own unique abilities. Children are encouraged to choose their own work, correct it and work without interruption at their own pace. By supporting each child’s interests and empowering them to follow their curiosity, we hope to ultimately engender in each child a deep felt sense of self-confidence, both intellectually and socially.
