Our mission is to provide an outstanding education for young children in a caring, nurturing environment.  We aim to foster their independence and self -confidence, curiosity, and creative thinking and respect for themselves, others and all living things.  This is achieved by offering a prepared environment that is simple, orderly, calm and geared for the preschool and kindergarten child.


"Education should no longer be mostly imparting of knowledge, but must take a new path, seeking the release of human potentialities."  - Dr. Maria Montessori

“A child’s work,” wrote Maria Montessori, “is to create the man he will become.  An adult works to perfect his environment, but a child works to perfect himself.”  So Dr. Montessori developed an education that would aid the child in his work.

  • The Montessori Method is based on the child’s tendencies to explore, be independent and make decisions, develop self-control, abstract ideas from experience, be creative and imaginative, repeat for internalization, concentrate, and perfect and master concepts and ideas.
  • Montessori classes are organized into groups representing a three-year age span. Within each group there is constant interaction, problem solving, child-to-child teaching, and socialization.
  • The environment is arranged according to subject area, and children are free to move around the room, and to work on a piece of material as long as needed. It is the role of the teacher to prepare and adapt the environment. The teacher links the child to the environment with well-planned lessons.
  • Children learn directly from the environment, other children, and from the teacher. The teacher works with children one-on-one, in small groups, and less frequently, in large group settings.
  • All subjects are interwoven. At any given time all subjects—math, language, science, history, geography, art, music, etc.—are being studied, at all levels. Children are exposed to amazing amounts of knowledge.
