Comments

Question to director: Please list anything you wish parents to be aware of with respect to the application process.

Children step out of the home into a school community as an individual who will quickly gain confidence and show independence and responsibility. Montessori curriculum and practices build the character and intellect of the child. Parents can encourage this growth and work with us to see children succeed. The school curriculum is designed for a 3 year experience and prepares the child for successful entry into any Elementary School program. Continued education in Montessori Schools is available and appropriate for many children.
