School Notes

The Montessori Schools are committed to teaching your children in a supportive, wholesome and state-of-the-art environment. Our students work independently, as well as in mixed age groups, to cultivate their self-esteem, self-discipline, time management skills, and problem-solving abilities. Each day, our teachers encourage open communication and a healthy exchange of ideas among students. Our goal is to help children evolve into happy, curious and creatively rigorous young individuals who are secure in themselves, and open and empathetic to the needs of others.

Every child is one-of-a-kind. It is our responsibility as Montessori educators to respect the needs and encourage the independent growth of each student by creating a learning environment that does the same. While well-structured and clearly defined, our methodologies are free to adapt to the individual development levels, interests and strengths of each student. We firmly believe that the best way for a child to thrive is to empower that child by creating an environment filled with exciting possibilities to learn through all five senses.

We recognize our profound responsibility to make the most of these formative years and inculcate a love of learning that will serve your children for the rest of their lives. This is our promise to every parent and child of The Montessori Schools.

Our SoHo campus serves children ages 18 months- 6 years.
