Lancaster Montessori School vs. Owl's Acre Montessori

Lancaster Montessori was founded in 1970 as a non-profit parent cooperative devoted to early childhood education through the use of the Montessori Method.

The parents of enrolled children are the owners of Lancaster Montessori, and are asked to support the activities of the school.

This support includes maintaining the building and grounds of the school, fundraising activities, providing supplies and snacks, as well as attending parent education events., social, and spiritual needs.

The Montessori Method follows the premise that children learn better when they are provided the opportunity to choose their subjects in a “prepared environment.” In this prepared non-competitive environment, children learn at their own speed, according to their own abilities.

Owl's Acre Montessori and Preschool Academy is a privately owned corporation.

Our purpose is to provide the tools that will lead each child to become a confident, competent person with a healthy outlook on life, learning, and responsibility.

We utilize a scientifically prepared environment. Our equipment and materials require a multi-sensory approach to learning, and free the child to choose activities according to individual interests, abilities, and talents, within certain set limits.
