School Notes Overview:

Fox Valley Montessori School is a Montessori-based school which advocates a child's right to know, to achieve, to belong, to be safe and to be a peaceful community member. Our objective is to provide carefully planned stimulating environments which help children develop essential habits, attitudes, skills and ideas for a lifetime of creative thinking and learning. Montessori’s philosophy of following the growing needs of each individual child, gives children the freedom to experiment and learn in a "prepared environment" at their own pace in a non-competitive atmosphere. This allows the physical, intellectual, emotional and social potential of each child to unfold.
