Sunshine Tree Child Care Center
Preschool in Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33418
34 years ago a few close friends were not happy with our children’s education so we decided to start our own school. We had had experience with Montessori so this was our choice of method. Our children thrived and have grown into exceptional adults. As a result of that searching for quality education we have continued to guide and nurture children for 34 years.
We are affiliated with the American Montessori Society and adhere to the highest standards of Montessori education. Each person affiliated with Sunshine Tree Montessori School has a deep conviction that a child deserves respect and an environment in which his or her potential can be achieved emotionally socially and intellectually. This environment where the child is motivated from within to learn and by working with Montessori equipment discovers the joy of learning that will continue throughout life.

The philosophy and methodology of the Sunshine Tree School are Montessori but in addition we try to bring the best of current educational methods to our classroom. A brief description of the Montessori philosophy is as follows. The Montessori system is a philosophy of child growth and a rational for guiding such growth. the Montessori materials are designed to take full advantage of the self-motivation and the unique ability of young children to develop their own capabilities. The child needs adults to expose him to the possibilities of his life but the child himself works with the equipment to create the adult he will become. The child has a deep love and need for purposeful work however he works not as an adult for profit or completion of a task but for the sake of the activity itself. The environment is prepared for the child by the teacher then the child works with a minimum of adult direction.
