Gardenview Montessori School

Background

Gardenview Montessori is a private, not-for-profit school for children 3-6 years. It was established in 2004 by a group of parents with children in local Montessori programs throughout the area. They sought highly competent and dedicated faculty with extensive Montessori experience.Class sizes vary but are limited to 19 students per session.

Our program has since been extended to offer a toddler class to children 18 months through 3 years of age with a limit of 12 students.

Our Mission Statement

The mission of Gardenview Montessori is to evoke children s love of learning using a Montessori curriculum to serve the needs of the whole child. Our mission is to provide an environment that will enable children and adults to realize and express their innate goodness, their joy in learning and their responsibility as caring, peaceful, global citizens.

We believe children should be offered respect and encouragement to explore, to question, to repeat, and to perfect their skills. The carefully created and beautifully maintained environment promotes freedom of movement and a developing sense of order.

About the Staff and School

The staff at Gardenview Montessori are all loving and caring individuals who have had extensive experience working with children. Most have been and are still Montessori parents. The employees, including the owners, receive a salary for the time that they spend in the classrooms. We run the business as a not-for-profit. All of the funds raised for Gardenview Montessori, including fundraising and donations, go directly back into the school to purchase equipment, offer staff training, maintain the building, and offer scholarships to families in need.
