Redbud Montessori vs. Little Friends Montessori School

Redbud Montessori mission is to offer children of diverse backgrounds and levels of ability, in a natural setting, a quality non-profit, full-day Montessori program which is integrated with the community, adheres to principles of parent governance and parent/staff involvement and actively subscribes to the teachings of Maria Montessori.

Respect for the unique capabilities and prerogatives of each child are fundamental to a Montessori classroom.

It is equally important for the adults who support that classroom (parents and staff) to present a model to the child of caring attitudes in their dealings with one another.

Redbud wants to help children acquire a sense of common humanity that binds peoples of all races and cultures together so that they might grow up to contribute to a more peaceful and cooperative world.

Redbud wants to help children achieve a powerful sense of "connectedness" with the natural world around them.

Redbud wants to help children achieve a sense of self-respect and pride in their growing competence while at the same time developing their ability to behave in ways that shows respect for other people's interests and capabilities.

Redbud wants to free the child to pursue knowledge and skills most relevant to him or her at a pace that is most comfortable.

Montessori materials are self-correcting, designed to prepare the child for future learning and they begin as an concrete experience of an idea which gradually becomes more and more abstract presentations.

They aid the growth of a child by providing the stimuli that capture the attention of the child and initiates a process of concentration.

In fact , the first essential ingredient for a child's development is concentration.
