The mission and objective of Montessori Music Academy is to provide a carefully planned, stimulating environment which will help the child develop within himself the foundational habits, attitudes, skills and ideas which are essential for a lifetime of creative thinking and learning.
It is our belief that each child is a unique individual with his own special needs and background, and should be recognized as someone special.
In order for the child to grow and learn, he must first feel safe, accepted, and competent in an environment that is encouraging, nurturing, supportive and challenging.
