quality half day Montessori options. We offer
both partial week and five day programs for families

is one teacher to every five to six students. This
is a part time only, mainly mornings program for

Information: |
Child’s Play is
Child’s Work
In Montessori schools we do not distinguish between work
and play. All learning is seen as the result of the
child's natural impetus toward self-development. Even
"academic" work is approached as a symbolic and abstract
level of play through the hands-on, sensorial way of
learning that is the hallmark of early childhood.
Learning is natural and easy because it involves the
mind, body and spirit in a way that is natural to the
child. |
