OUR SCHOOLNURTURINGTHE WHOLE CHILD
Deschutes River Montessori School opened in Bend, Oregon in
September 2009. Due to the passion felt by the families of children
enrolled with us for our loving, enriching, quality Montessori
program, and because of the growing waiting list for spaces with
us, Deschutes River Montessori School moved into expanded
facilities at the Old Mill District in September 2011. We
have continued to flourish and have now expanded again in April
2023, to 929 SW Simpson Ave, STE 130, Bend, OR, 97702.Our students
love our sunny, bright classrooms filled with time-tested,
authentic Montessori materials and staffed by enthusiastic, eager,
and caring Montessori-certified teachers and talented classroom
assistants. Each day brings new understandings, joys, and
satisfactions to our students, as they learn about themselves,
their friends, and their world. Children also spend time daily
enjoying the attached play area at the school and or walking along
the Deschutes River trail observing wildlife and learning about
nature.Deschutes River Montessori School is pleased to offer
inviting Montessori classrooms for children ages eighteen months to
six years. Our toddler communities, for toddlers twenty four months
to three years, provide our youngest students with a loving,
caring, safe, and enriching environment within which to grow and
learn, while feeling safe, secure, and loved by their teachers and
young playmates. Our toddlers learn about themselves and have a
positive "I can do it by myself" attitude, fostered and
supported by their teachers, who create classrooms that allow the
children to exercise their independence, explore their world, and
learn about being with one another in a peaceful, loving
community.Children ages three to six (which includes the
kindergarten year), work and learn together in our primary
classroom. Whether preparing a snack for themselves, creating a
watercolor map of the continents and oceans of our Earth, singing
songs with their friends, learning to read or do big, exciting math
problems using Maria Montessori's wonderful manipulative materials,
running outside at recess, or engaging in one of many, many other
activities that are a part of each and every school day at
Deschutes River Montessori School, our students feel joy in their
education and a thirst for knowledge. They take great pride in
helping one another and in maintaining their beautiful classroom
environment for the benefit of their entire classroom
community.
