Our School

Vision Statement

Our vision is to provide education for life and to cultivate a life-long love of learning in our children and inspire them to realize their full potential – intellectually, creatively, socially and emotionally.

A Montessori school creates a stimulating environment where children are inspired to realize their academic, social and emotional development. In addition to cognitive preparation, it honors the imagination, mind and heart of the whole child.

We encourage parents to read about the Montessori philosophy and to understand the child’s classroom experience. Briefly, Montessori believed that children learn a particular concept during “sensitive periods”. The teachers prepare an enriched environment to meet the needs of the children in the classroom. Children are exposed to materials that illustrate a concept, and the child will study the materials (work), until the concept is mastered.

Class begins with circle time in which lessons will be demonstrated. We avoid interrupting a child engaged in work. The teachers assist each child as needed by observing and giving lessons as appropriate. Children often work together and help each other. Montessori materials are self-correcting, attractive, isolate a single concept and have an orderly progression in difficulty. Materials promote independence, have a control of error, and are designed so that the child will repeat them until the concept is mastered.
