School Notes

Founded in 1991, Montessori Children's Schoolhouse is a community for children 2 to 6 years where children, parents, and guides (teachers) feel connected to one another creating a foundation that allows us to support children as they develop into resilient, focused and empathic adults who are prepared to lead impactful lives.
MCSH's goal has always been to provide a carefully planned, stimulating environment based on the tenants of Dr. Maria Montessori.
Our objective is to help children develop within themselves the fundamental habits, attitudes, skills, and ideas which are essential for a lifetime of creative thinking.
As educators, our role is to:
- Spark curiosity
- Encourage autonomy
- Practice mindfulness
- Support self-reflection
- Exemplify self-compassion
- Facilitate personal connection to learning
- Provide a brain-based hands-on curriculum that creates an active learning environment
