School Notes
- Montessori Freedom to Learn offers a Montessori education for children of all ages. We provide appropriate lessons and materials for each Montessori plane of development while allowing children of all ages to interact and learn from one another. We do not grade, test or judge our students in any way, and we allow children to choose their work and work at their own pace.
- Montessori Freedom to Learn is now enrolling students ages 3 to 17. We provide a one-room schoolhouse approach allowing children of different ages to mix freely learning from one another and playing together in a family-like environment. We never test, grade, or judge student work or effort in any way. We allow our students to choose their work and to judge their own success and learn from their mistakes without fear of embarrassment or failure. Our school day also includes at least one hour of outdoor free play each day in the large park behind our school building. Our school day goes from 8:30AM to 3:30PM, but parents may drop off as early as 7:30AM with no extra charge for beforecare and pick up as late as 5:30 for a modest aftercare fee. We also offer part-time enrollment for children ages 3-5. Parents are always welcome to be in our school as well.
