Countryside Montessori School was founded in 1998 with the aim of providing a high-quality early childhood education based upon the philosophy, methods and techniques developed over 100 years ago by educational pioneer and Nobel prize nominee Dr. Maria Montessori. At the core of the Montessori philosophy is the fundamental belief that each child is a unique and special individual, whose intellectual, social, moral and physical potential are best developed in a structured, supportive and self-paced environment. We are certain that you will be thoroughly satisfied with our school environment and staff, and all that it has to offer to the person most precious to you: your child. This becomes a matter of what you value most. To give your child the finest possible educational experience during their most sensitive years is to give them a strong foundation that will benefit them throughout their entire life. Today, the school is run by Mother- Daughter duo Mary Ann Pastorelli and Dana Albin. Mary Ann has been with the school for over 20 years with Dana following in her footsteps.

Day Care
My name is Sehar Noor. I am a certified teacher in childhood education. I worked in various districts with various age group students. As the days pass, I love my work more and more. Each day, I encounter different challenges and different outcomes. My experience adds on to my knowledge, philosophy and teaching strategies. I love working with small kids and I believe opening my own little daycare is an opportunity to show and do what I love doing; nurturing and teaching. We believe it matters where a child spends most of his or her time, whom he or she sits with, and how they communicate. It is because the environment and available learning opportunities shape a child's overall personality and identity. So, Noor Child Care is a place where respect, care, and safety matters most. We provide a positive environment, through our rich curriculum we meet each individual child's needs in learning. Our mission is to help each child to meet his or her full potential by the school age.

Elite Scholars Christian Academy is committed to creating a well-rounded, comprehensive instructional program that s designed to promote social, academic, physical and moral growth needed for the children to be prepared for their transition to Kindergarten. Toddler (Ages 12mos-3): Our toddlers are offered a variety of opportunities to explore their world through play. Gross motor skills and social skills are developed through both structured and unstructured play. Their days are filled with music, art, dance, story times and more. Preschool (Ages 3-4): Although it may seem like fun and games to preschoolers, the curriculum we follow is packed with educational elements. Games abound that teach pre-reading skills like phonemic awareness and letter and sound recognition; basic math concepts; and hands-on science exploration. Pre-Kindergarten (Ages 4-5): The Pre-Kindergarteners focus on reading, early writing, and basic math. Foreign language, science, social studies, art, music and physical education round out the learning. Elementary/After School (Ages 5-12): School-age children are given a quiet environment for homework and projects, with supervised access to computers and assistance as needed. Also available to elementary students are crafts, games and physical activities. WE DEVELOP FOUR ESSENTIAL SKILLS: SOCIAL SKILLS | Elite Scholars is a loving, caring Christian environment where a child is nurtured and supported as they leave home and go off to school. It is in this environment that we tenderly lead each child we serve, to adjust to being away from home while at the same time, help them learn social skills for life. ACADEMIC SKILLS | The Program is also about the task of developing academic skills that will prepare our students for Kindergarten and for life. We feel solid, fundamental education is vital for our students and if those skills are taught at any early age, they are more prepared for future learning. PHYSICAL SKILLS | We have the desire to lead our children to be healthy for life. Along with the social and academic skills, we promote physical skills as well. The students are taught small and large motor skills. MORAL SKILLS | We believe that the Bible is our most important moral guide to life. Thus, students are taught stories from the Bible that enables them to see what behaviors are proper and pleasing to God. This is by no means the last or the least skill taught to our students.
