Montessori School @ Old Field, Inc. is a school that strives to practice the Montessori Method as closely as possible.
It is a school dedicated to serve children. The school believes in the philosophy from which it was founded...to provide a learning environment that is true to Montessori principles and precepts.
The success of the school, however, does not only depend on the presence of Montessori materials and trained teachers.
Children meet success in a Montessori School because their families make choices in tune with Montessori.
