Our House Montessori is an environment that provides unique opportunities for children to explore their natural curiosity, build relationships with others, and discover independence.
We are dedicated to the Montessori philosophy; deep respect for each child, an environment that is self-directed and self-correcting, and understanding of child development and observation.Our program encourages empathy, responsibility, values, pride in one's self, and independence.
We build solid connections with each child and family, as well as with the community around us.
