Hampton Montessori School (Closed 2015)

225 Chapel St
Hampton, VA 23669

Hampton Montessori School follows the basic principles of Dr. Maria Montessori, known as the Montessori Method.

The Hampton Montessori School occupies two fully equipped pre-primary level classrooms capable of accommodating 20-28 children.

Young children should be in the process of toilet training before acceptance into the program.

The Montessori teacher assumes a guiding or directing role and is thus, referred to as the Directress.

The teacher prepares the environment, demonstrates the correct use of the materials, observes the progress of the child, and functions as the exemplar.

It is the child who learns; motivated through the work itself.

The child is free to learn because of an acquired "inner discipline" from the exposure to both physical and mental order.

The Montessori Method is more than just a method of learning; it is an approach to life.
