We commit to the joy of learning, from each moment, from each other; and from our environment. We commit as partners, as educators, as families, and as citizens, to the creation and renewal of a space for children to grow, to learn, to discover; within themselves and each other; their own true nature.
We commit to respect and be responsible for ourselves, each other; our children and our environment, and to hold in highest regard the lifelong cycle of teaching and learning.

We, at the Montessori Academy of Colorado, believe that educational excellence is the only choice. We invite you to visit our school and become educated about our philosophy, vision, programs, and, of course, actual practices in the classroom.
Founded in 2002, The Montessori Academy of Colorado (MAC) offers programs for children from 8 weeks through 6 years old. MAC is a non-sectarian, non-discriminatory school relative to race, color, sex, religion, national/ethnic origin or family makeup and is a non-profit organization. Our goal is to provide an educational environment that serves the whole child, where he/she can grow intellectually, emotionally, socially, and physically, and our curriculum is designed on a continuum of developmental education that follows each individual child. Our educational philosophy follows the Montessori Method of education, but is constantly expanded through further studies and research in education.
The Montessori Method of education is named after its founder, Dr. Maria Montessori (1870-1952). By working with, and scientifically observing children, she brought about a new form of education. She respected each child as an individual with unlimited potential and provided an environment that allowed the natural unfolding and education of that child within the limits of respect for oneself, the environment and others. The Montessori environment is specifically designed around an individuals distinct learning style, allowing him/her to progress at his/her own pace, with guidance and support from teachers. It is important to note that Montessori education is a guiding philosophy that incorporates many different curricula. This allows specific curriculum guidelines to be developed for each individuals distinct needs.
