At Small World Montessori School, Our children, and staff will share a joyous bond of trust, acceptance, and respect. We will encourage the children to work and play together in a peaceful, caring group, which will help children to learn kindness, compassion, and acceptance. We welcome students of all cultures and celebrate this diversity in our classroom. While we adhere to the basic Montessori philosophy, our programs are dynamic and flexible. We carefully incorporate new learning materials and techniques from current developments in education. Our classrooms are inviting, lively places. Our disciplinary techniques include prevention, modifying the environment, substituting activities, and teaching consequences. Teachers assist children in talking through their difficulties, learning to use words to express their feelings, and avoiding physical aggression. Our classrooms have been designed based on many years of experience to provide modern, new environments that meet the needs of children and teachers.
