About Montessori

Montessori education offers a unique experience designed to help your child maximize her potential; an educational environment that is purposefully designed to meet her unique developmental needs and adults who are specifically trained to observe and put her in touch with exactly what she needs at that very moment to learn.

People Who Come Together

A school is a group of people who come together with a common purpose; education is the experience that your child has with these people. We work diligently to provide a positive and formative experience that will serve her now and for the rest of her life.

The conventional educational system was designed during the industrial revolution, when the masses moved into urban areas to work in factories.

Effective Method of Training

They created an effective method of training the following generations of factory workers. Children were instructed to memorize and regurgitate facts – to stop working when the bell rings – to sit in nice, neat rows of desks and ask for permission to move. It is no longer relevant in our modern culture.

Today, successful people work on projects not factory lines. They are rewarded for creating things rather than following orders. And, they are expected to adapt quickly to change within their profession, rather than working at the same job for 50 years.

But what exactly is Montessori education?

At its core, it simply is a way of being with children that allows each child to develop fully into the person he or she was destined to be. Just as you make every effort to ensure your home is loving and safe so your child feels secure and well-adjusted, we work diligently as well. We want the physical environment, the teachers and the student community to meet your child's needs with respect and support at each step in their educational journey.

Adults Following the Children

In a Montessori classroom, the adult does not demand the attention of 30 students in order to give lessons. Instead, the Montessori guide pays close attention to your child, which fosters a trusting relationship--an education partnership of sorts. The child has faith that the guide truly understands and respects him--not only for the person he is today, but for the adult he is becoming. The guide creates lesson plans with your child's needs and desire as the focal point, always ensuring that there is more challenging work on the horizon.
