Woodland Montessori School
Preschool in Spokane, WA 99217
At Woodland, the development of a community within each classroom is very important. For this reason all children attend class five days a week from 9:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m. At the age of five (usually a child’s third year), children are required to attend all day (from 9:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m.). During afternoons, these older children are able to do more complex, advanced activities. Woodland’s program is a 3-4 year commitment. We count on having the children grow up within the classroom community with opportunities to feel the roles of “youngest,” “middle aged,” and finally, “old and wise!” We do not wish to accept children for enrollment who do not intend to remain for the entire cycle through their kindergarten.

In order to allow children to develop emotionally, physically, and intellectually at their own pace, Woodland’s Montessori classrooms are engineered to provide freedom of movement and a wise selection of activities. Within a framework of respect for the rights of others, the child learns to take responsibility for his/her own actions and learning.
The teacher’s role is to observe the child, to prepare the environment to meet each child’s needs, to guide the child in the use of learning materials and to be a positive role model in facilitating interpersonal relations. Ultimately, the goal of a Montessori education is to foster the development of a fully integrated personality in each child. Education is not considered a separate event in life, but a preparation for life itself.
