Overview
Footsteps Montessori provides a quality educational experience for children of preschool and kindergarten age - some of the most important learning years of a lifetime.
In our classes, children make choices according to their individual needs and interests.
Following their natural path of discovery enables each child to grow as a whole being: emotionally, physically, intellectually, and socially.
As we nourish the inborn spirits of these youngsters, they reveal a tremendous capacity to care for themselves, their environment, and the needs of others around them.
We respect and encourage their individuality, thereby nurturing a lifelong love of learning.
Our children comprise the core of a loving social community which offers friendship and support to all.
Together we strive to lead humanity towards a more tolerant and peaceful world.
Bloomington Montessori School is a privately funded, not-for-profit school for children ages 3 to 12, preschool through Grade 6.
The school was founded in 1968, by a group of parents who wanted Montessori education for their children.
The school moved to its present location in 1983 and was expanded in 2004.
The building was specially designed to suit the needs of children learning in a Montessori environment.
The Montessori method includes the use of a wide range of specially designed teaching materials which form part of a "prepared environment," to enable children to learn individually, at their own pace, in a non-competitive atmosphere.
