School Notes
- Lakeside Montessori is a diverse and peaceful community of individuals, aged 2.5 to 6 years. We empower children through character development based on learning to be responsible for oneself and compassionate toward others. The Montessori method allows each individual child to strive toward his or her highest academic potential by providing an environment of beauty, order and reality. The Montessori environment is designed to satisfy an innate motivation toward self-development. It is through self-development or "work", that the child is led to the mastery of social skills, academic concepts and critical, creative thinking.
