We want to help children think for themselves as individuals in an atmosphere of cooperation and community. Maria Montessori often quoted, “Help me to do it by myself,” describing each child’s expression of an inner need for independence. Our program emphasizes this need by encouraging investigation and discovery with direct hand-on experiences. The curriculum includes all of the traditional Montessori areas of Practical Life, Sensorial, Math, Language, Geography, Science, Art and Music. The children also practice “Grace and Courtesy” which emphasizes respect of one’s self, for others, for the environment and for one’s work while promoting academic excellence, creativity, and self-motivation and teaching a lifetime love of learning.
We are committed to being a responsible neighbor by embracing the community at large. We partner with our families to ensure peace of mind, inspiring children to flourish and grow in an exceptional, interactive environment that nurtures and promotes children’s development and well-being through early education, discovery and exploration.
- Respect the rights and dignity of each child as an individual, recognizing that every child has unique abilities and interests;
- Prepare the foundation for a lifetime journey of learning by implementing best practices that exceed child care industry standards;
- Encourage children to think for themselves as individuals in an environment of compassion and community culture;
- Instill core values that make a difference in the lives of children;
- Provide children and staff the opportunity to grow and feel their own successes each and every day;
- Network collaboratively and cooperatively with neighborhoods, businesses and agencies…
- …and to never lose sight of the importance of the bond we are forging together!
