“Our care of the children should not be governed by the desire to ‘make them learn things’ but by the endeavor always to keep burning within them the light which is called intelligence.”
— Dr. Maria Montessori
We believe that children require and deserve a peaceful place to learn and grow.
We honor and protect the unique spirit and innate gifts within each child.
We recognize the diverse needs and skill levels of each child and strive to meet them academically and emotionally where they are.
We trust the child’s natural ability to determine and develop their interests and goals at their own pace.
We create an environment that is homey, aesthetically pleasing, and contains self guided educational materials that allow the child to make discoveries and come to conclusions on their own better reinforcing the ideas presented.
We provide the children with a curriculum that is rich, diverse, and presented thoughtfully.
We allow the children the opportunity to care for their environment and themselves independently while we observe and support them building self-confidence and pride in their work.
We give each child a chance to mentor and be mentored by providing a mixed age environment.
We teach the child to recognize and regulate their emotions while navigating social interactions within the classroom, at home, and in their community.
We continue to educate ourselves and our parent group so that we as adults may better care for our children together.
