Montessori Childrens House
School Notes Overview:
At Montessori Children's House, our mission is to embody the educational principles of Dr. Maria Montessori in a close-knit, caring community of children, parents and teachers. We strive to provide children with the tools and the desire to create their own learning, and to provide both support and resources for parents as they facilitate their children's growth. Our Montessori school excels in bringing out and developing the potential of individual children. My three children will attest to how fun it was to learn and how much they looked forward to going to school each day. Montessori Prep is offered for children ages 18 months through three years. In our Prep program, toddlers are introduced to the initial Montessori concepts and materials that stimulate their natural desire to learn at an early age. Toddlers move between a combination of structured learning and free choice activities which are geared to enhance the development of independence and self-help skills....
