School Notes:

  • MCHD Vision Statement Our vision is to consistently challenge, nurture, inspire and support each child's individual growth and development within an effective, safe, enriched, beautiful and welcoming learning community that embodies the Montessori principles of respect for self, respect for others and respect for the environment. RESPECT FOR ONESELF IS...having a sense of self esteem, personal responsibility and autonomy developed from being a part of a consistent, loving, and empowering community. RESPECT FOR OTHERS IS...balancing personal goals with an awareness of the welfare of others and is developed through being a member of a community which emphasizes friendship and equality encompassing a celebration of differences and a responsibility for the common good. RESPECT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT IS...caring for our belongings and for the plants and the animals out of a love for them and a respect for ourselves as stewards of the Earth. -Montessori Children's House of Denver, Inc. 1992 We are committed to helping each child in our school develop a strong academic base, an inner love of learning and high self-esteem. We emphasize peace education, personal responsibility, celebration of cultural diversity, and respect for nature.
