Our goal at Montessori Community School (MCS) at Brookfield — located in Brookfield, Connecticut – - is to provide high-quality private education, life preparation, and exceptional childcare for pre-school and Kindergarten children ages three to six years old, in Brookfield, Danbury, Ridgefield, Newtown, Bethel, New Milford, Southbury, and the surrounding communities. Montessori at Brookfield is a not-for-profit school with an outstanding reputation since our doors first opened in 2001. Families choose our school because we are much smaller than most private schools in the area, which enables us to successfully give each child personalized attention and individual encouragement to build social and emotional development; independence; confidence; and intellect.

- Montessori schools begin with a deep respect for children as unique individuals. They work from a concern for their social and emotional development.
- Montessori schools are warm and supportive communities of students, teachers and parents.
- Montessori consciously teaches children to be kind and peaceful.
- Montessori classrooms are not run by the teachers alone. Students learn to manage their own community and develop leadership skills and independence.
- Montessori environments consist of multi-age groups rather than classes comprised of just one grade level. Children stay with their teachers for three years. This allows teachers to develop close and long term relationships with their pupils, allows them to know each child’s learning style and encourages a strong sense of community among the children.
- Maria Montessori believed that all children are born intelligent; they simply learn in different ways and progress at their own pace. The Montessori approach to education is consciously designed to recognize and address different learning styles, helping students learn to study most effectively.
- The Montessori curriculum always moves from the concrete towards abstraction, allowing the child to absorb the materials on all levels as they progress at their own pace.
- Montessori students learn through hands on experience, investigation and research. They become actively engaged in their studies.
- Montessori challenges students at any developmental and academic level.
- Students develop self-discipline and an internal sense of purpose and motivation. After graduation from Montessori, these values serve them well throughout their lives.
