Montessori

Our Montessori Program which serves children 2 years and 9 months through 6 years of age, recognizes and accommodates the child's natural desire to learn. Upon completion, children are qualified to enter first grade.

The Montessori classroom is a purposefully planned, aesthetically pleasing, well-mannered, and unhurried learning environment. It provides a wealth of distinctive learning activities that are multi-sensory, sequential, self corrective in design, and are systematically organized into specific areas of interest.

Each child's daily learning is based on his or her interest and ability. The teacher facilitates learning by observation, incidental assistance, general guidance, and direct instruction. As a result, Montessori instruction instills confidence, concentration, a sense of order, inner discipline, independence, and, most importantly, a love of learning.
