PHILOSOPHY
We believe
the cornerstone of the Montessori approach to learning is your child s natural curiosity.
children should have the opportunities to develop to their maximum abilities. Teachers have the responsibility to provide those opportunities for this development to occur.
each child is a unique individual and should be allowed to develop at his/her own pace.
that each child is capable of developing a positive self image and to feel good about who they are.

GOALS
The primary goals of our Montessori-based approach to primary and Kindergarten education are to:
develop positive attitudes toward school
promote self-confidence & self-care skills
help develop habits of concentration, initiative and persistence
foster curiosity, inner security and a sense of order
introduce the child to the joy of learning
build a strong foundation for future academic growth
