Our Montessori Philosophy:
Our classrooms are designed to appeal to the child. Everything is custom sized to facilitate the child’s independence and development. The Montessori teacher links the children to the materials and guides the children toward constructive activity. Each child works at his or her own pace and the child has the freedom of movement in the classroom. Children pursue their own self-paced curriculum and learning takes place individually or in small groups. The Montessori method develops the whole personality of the child not merely his intellectual faculties but also to become a self-directed self-disciplined person.
