Lake Forest Park Montessori preschool offers an individualized program of learning based on the montessori method philosophy which recognizes that a child's physical, social, emotional and intellectual development are interrelated.
As a montessori preschool, we help children to develop the habits, attitudes and skills that lead to a lifetime of active thinking.
Children learn that the classroom can be an adventure, and parents are partners in that adventure.
