School Notes

  • Dr. Maria Montessori believed that no human being is educated by another person.
  • Rather, we ourselves are inspired to learn what we need to know.
  • For this reason, the goal of the educational process is to support each child's natural desire to learn.
  • Children between the ages of two and six pick up knowledge and understanding spontaneously, effortlessly, joyfully.
  • The Montessori teacher serves as an enthusiastic guide for every child's journey.
  • Kenwood Montessori's goal is to help each child become a responsible, secure, and balanced human being - one who can communicate with other people, and who knows the joys of being able to do things for oneself.
  • Children have the opportunity to learn in English and Spanish
