The “Montessori Method,” established by Dr. Maria Montessori, includes respecting a child’s individuality and emphasizes social interaction and education of their whole personality. By helping them realize their highest potential – physically, emotionally, spiritually, and intellectually – they become valuable members of their family, community, and world.

Montessori is always current because of its dynamic nature of using observation as a pathway to meeting the continual and specific needs of each child. Through what Dr. Maria Montessori called a “prepared environment” the child builds on what they can do, gradually absorbing and accomplishing more and more skills and knowledge. The child increases in self-motivation and self-discipline within this environment. Classrooms of mixed age groups serve children of all levels of mental and physical abilities – which is very much like the society they will grow to live in as adults. This supportive environment contributes to the high level of academic achievement Montessori is known for.
