An education for independence, self-confidence, and lifelong flourishing.

“The goal of early childhood education should be to activiate the child’s own natural desire to learn”

-Maria Montessori-

Maria Montessori was an Italian doctor, educator, and philosopher who discovered a new method of education—one that doesn’t fight against the nature of children, but understands their needs, taps into their immense abilities, and empowers them to take charge of their life.

Montessori first gained fame when she taught 3 and 4-year-olds to read and write without painstaking drills or intensive instruction.

Over the course of her career, Montessori worked closely with children of all ages, carefully designed learning materials to support their growth while respecting their agency, and shared her landmark discoveries and innovations in her many books and lectures.

Within our Montessori program, we hold reverence for this transformative work, offering children an array of meaningful choices and tools that truly reflect their dedication. Our objective is to attentively observe each child, comprehending their individual needs, and create an environment that fosters increasing independence—empowering them to meet their own requirements, cultivate their personal values, and take charge of their own remarkable journey.

To foster the child’s burgeoning independence and self-confidence, the Montessori environment is designed to create an accessible world of order, beauty, and enriching values. This is a world where they can gradually learn to meet their own needs—to feed themselves, clean up after themselves, to trust themselves.

The Montessori environment features:

• A simplified, beautiful space for children to explore
• Child-sized furniture and tools
• Logically organized materials on accessible shelves
• Consistent routines and lessons in practical life skills and care of the class environment

To capitalize on the child’s longing to explore, learn, and perfect their abilities, a Montessori environment provides a sequence of captivating materials that systematically build on one another. These materials offer foundational learning experiences—in motor control, sensorial exploration, math, literacy, and so much more—and allow the child to joyously move from one achievement to the next.

Montessori learning materials:

• Captivate the child’s interest, optimizing for sustained concentration
• Isolate the difficulty of skills so the child can focus and master them one at a time
• Offer sensorial feedback so the child can self-correct
• Provide access to advanced curriculum years ahead of their peers in traditional schools

To account for the unique abilities and interests of every child and to cultivate their sense of agency and love of learning, a Montessori environment gives children tremendous liberty to take charge of their education. Children are free to choose their own materials, to set them up on a table or work mat, and to practice with them for 5 minutes or 3 hours—for as much time as they need to achieve mastery.

Children in a Montessori classroom:

• Move, explore, and collaborate freely with their classmates
• Direct their own path to mastery by concentrating on materials of their choice
• Refine their ability to exert effort, persist, and fix mistakes
• Cultivate an earned sense of self-confidence in their ability to make decisions
