We believe education should be about more than memorization, repetition and standardized tests.
We offer a completely different approach, featuring a unique, open environment that emphasizes your child's natural interests and allows your child to set his or her own developmental pace.
That's the Montessori philosophy. The Montessori education journey all began with Dr.
Maria Montessori. Through scientific observations, she determined that children learn best when learning at their own pace and given the choice of his or her own activities.
