The school was established over fifteen years ago and is dedicated to the Montessori philosophy for 2 year olds to Kindergartners providing daycare and preschool facilities. Mission Our mission is to create an environment for facilitating the unfolding of the human potential. We provide an educational environment that fosters an enthusiasm for learning and encourages children to reach their fullest potential. We strive to provide the highest quality Montessori education available; emphasizing basic academic disciplines and promoting the development of independence, self- respect, and respect for others. Philosophy We believe in the process of life long learning as an exciting journey. Each child possesses an innate sense of order, which develops as the child explores and defines the world. The child absorbs the world and learns by doing. Each child experiences sensitive periods of intense fascination with particular concepts and skills. We acknowledge these critical learning periods in early childhood, and their impact on the development of social, emotional, intellectual, physical, and moral competencies. Our focus is to provide academics that enhance critical thinking, life long discovery, inner discipline, positive social interactions, concentration, and task completion. Our goals are to provide students with a firm grounding in basic physical, social, emotional and academic growth. We achieve these through the following techniques: Goals - Sense of order through logically prepared classrooms - Emotional stability by practicing grace and courtesy - Independence through hands-on self correcting materials - Self esteem by establishing positive ground rules and encouragement - Social development by providing freedom within limits - Holistic development of the child through music, art and cultural appreciation - Academic growth through enriched classroom materials, leading to skills in reading, writing, math, sciences and arts
