School Notes Overview:

The Montessori Children's Academy strives to provide the highest quality education for our children. Following traditional Montessori methods, we provide a learning environment that nurtures the whole child and forms the foundation for a lifelong love of learning. The preschool curriculum at The Montessori Children's Academy is designed in harmony with the principles of early childhood education set forth by Maria Montessori. Dr. Montessori believed that each child has within himself or herself a unique self-potential that is revealed as the child grows and develops his or her interests. She identified that children have "sensitive periods" where they focus in on certain types of learning with eagerness and intensity. She also believed that learning is a natural process where children learn by doing. Thus, our classrooms contain the elements necessary for children to follow their natural interests and to practice their skills. The Montessori Children's Academy offers a variety of early childhood education programs to cater to each family's individual needs. These include half-day, full-day, partial week, and full-week classes for children between the ages of 2 1/2 and 9 years. Our traditional Montessori classes are complemented by a wide variety of enrichment programs, as well as an Extended Care option. All of our programs aim to foster the growth and nurture the spirit of our students....
