Wellsboro Montessori Children’s Center is a nonprofit non-sectarian preschool/daycare that provides a loving and stimulating environment where children can develop to their full potential socially emotionally intellectually and creatively. We seek to provide enriching and nurturing experiences which nourish the young child’s natural joy of learning and enhance the development of self-awareness and a positive self image. We believe that positive experiences in early childhood provide the basis for confidence and success later on in school and in life.

Maria Montessori was an Italian doctor and educator who observed children within the educational system of her day. These observations led her to develop a revolutionary approach to early childhood education. Years of scientific observation indicated to her that conventional school failed in two areas: the teaching of children began at too late an age and children were forced to conform to a world of adult dimensions and standards. Montessori observed that young children learn and absorb many things subconsciously through acting upon and responding to various stimuli in their environments. It was her desire to enrich the child’s early experiences by providing a carefully prepared environment – one designed to lead children from the simple to the complex and from concrete perceptions to higher levels of abstract thinking.
