Our Philosophy
Families who choose Montessori education for their children generally share values, goals, and attitudes compatible with the Montessori Philosophy. These shared beliefs allow families and the school to build a growing relationship to enhance children’s development. Children learn from the world around them, and it is the responsibility of all adults to model appropriate behavior and work together as part ofour team to aid in the development of a positive tone within the school.

Our Mission
We  provide a child-centered environment facilitating independent learning, where a child may learn for the love of knowledge. Based on respect for self and others, featuring a strong emphasis on cultural appreciation, we create a supportive network for families as we help children become well-rounded individuals.

Caring

Thank you to everyone who supported our 2009-2010 Annual Campaign. We were able to competely renovate the toddler playground, gave each of the 12 programs an additional $1,000 for classroom works, and increased our scholarship fund to over $12,500.  Past donations have helped purchase new windows for the school, expand the playground space, and even made the purchase of the school campus possible.
