2. Our Philosophy
We follow Dr. Maria Montessori's Method. The
Montessori Method has been used in educating
children for over 80 years. It emphasizes on
independence, freedom within limits, and re-
spect for a child's natural psychological devel-
opment, as well as technological advancements
in society.

Our Programs
Toddlers (2 – 3 years)
Toddlers have large practical life and sensorial
areas that provide an opportunity to explore
and experiment. Our tachers help the young
child adapt to the community environment by
providing a warm and secure place for them to
learn.
Pre-School (3 – 6 years)
Nurturing a child’s independence, self-esteem
and self-discipline, while introducing him to the
basics of academics is best between the ages
of 3 to 6 years. The Montessori environment en-
courages increased independence and active
participation in the learning process. The pre-
pared materials enable students to progress at
their own pace.
Summer Program
We offer a Summer Program - including field trips
- from the months of June through August. The
program is designed as a refreshing blend of
recreation and academics, providing fun and
learning experience for your children.
Teaching Method
We focus on areas of practical and sensorial life.
Practical Life: Activities in this area help children
to properly take care of themselves. Your child
will find materials and exercises of his everyday
life, from pouring water from a jug to a glass, or
learning how to tie a shoelace.
Sensorial life: Allowing children to refine each
of their senses is the goal in this area. Appreci-
ate color or texture differences, organize their
thoughts and objects in their envoronment and
develop a refined sense of the music they may
hear around them.
“The goal of early childhood education
should be to activate the child’s own
natural desire to learn.“
~ Dr. Maria Montessori
