The Montessori Method

Montessori is special because it helps young children grow both in their minds and in their character. Developed by Dr. Maria Montessori in the early 1900s, the method is used in schools all around the world. Instead of teachers leading the class as a whole throughout the day, our students are able to choose their work and explore what interests them. The teacher then becomes more of a guide, in charge of preparing the environment and guiding students as they develop at their own pace.

Mixed-Age Classrooms

In a true Montessori school, the children stay with the same teacher and classmates for several years. This helps them to build trust, independence, and social skills. These mixed age groups allow for individualized learning. Our students not only learn for themselves but also help each other grow through mentoring.

Uninterrupted Work Time

Montessori students have long, uninterrupted periods of time to work with materials that meet their interests. This gives them the chance to focus deeply on their work and learn at their own pace. They can take their time, be creative, and solve problems without feeling rushed. The 3-hour work period allows the children to fully engage in what they are doing, helping them build concentration and develop important skills.

Montessori Materials

Montessori classrooms are filled with intentional, hands-on materials that help children learn by doing. These materials teach things like math, language, and life skills in a way that's easy to understand. For example, in math, children use the Golden Beads to learn about counting and place value. In language, the Sandpaper Letters use sensory input as children trace letters with their fingers.

Highly Trained Teachers

Our teachers are experts in child development and the Montessori method. Most have been trained through programs such as American Montessori Society (AMS), Association Montessori Internationale (AMI), or Eagle Montessori Teaching Academy (EMTA). We also support their ongoing learning and career development - helping them to stay dedicated to nurturing each child's potential.
