Overview
The Harmony Schools offers a developmental curriculum implemented by dedicated professionals in chronologically age-based classrooms, enhanced by the latest materials and technology.
The vehicle for shaping this environment is a participative management team, sensitive to best practices in early childhood research and business.
Our curriculum is based on a developmental philosophy, meaning that children are unique and develop at their own pace when in a supportive, enriched environment.
Children are grouped chronologically to mirror the experience they will have when they enter private or public elementary school programs.
The day is a combination of child directed and teacher directed activities.
The mission of The Harmony Schools, Inc. is to provide high quality, comprehensive early childhood programs for children, resulting in peace of mind and satisfaction for their parents.
We foster independent, cognitive and emotional growth for each child by creating nurturing learning environments.
Princeton Montessori School, founded in 1968, is an independent, coeducational day school, dedicated to the highest quality education of children, from infancy through middle school, according to the values and principles of the Montessori philosophy.
The teachers nurture the individual child`s innate abilities and self-exploration, and provide children with the skills and foundation for leading full lives.
Parents are supported through educational resources and classes and encouraged to be active participants in the school community.
The recruitment, training and continued mentorship of talented teachers, along with the integrated curriculum and environments which are tailored to meet the developmental needs of the individual child, are the priorities of the School.
