By following the needs of each individual child, we create a positive setting that promotes hands-­on learning, encourages independence, emphasizes inclusivity, and values peace education. The timeless principles and philosophy of Dr. Maria Montessori are the foundation of our classroom environment.

  • Fostering a life-long love of learning and a joyful learning environment
  • Building respectful and trusting relationships with children, families, and colleagues
  • Appreciating and supporting the bond between child and family
  • Structuring experiential hands-on, multi-age learning environments in which children are active participants in their learning
  • Promoting peace and character education, kindness, inclusivity, service to others
  • Living the philosophy of Maria Montessori as a foundation
  • Respecting and caring for the environment
