School Notes

  • Over a century ago, Dr. Maria Montessori discovered an approach to education that emphasizes the potential of young children by means of a sensory-rich "prepared environment", specially trained adults and carefully created materials.
  • Freedom within limits is the key to the wonderful feelings of success Montessori children enjoy as they develop intellectually, socially, physically and emotionally. We assist children in realizing their full potential in our beautifully prepared environments.
