Parents' Comments

Parent #1
This is a true Montessori school - there is not enough room here to write about the entire philosophy! Suffice it to say that this school bring out the self-discipline in each child and enourages each child positively to learn in the areas that are sensitive to the child at that time. There is no forced curriculum, yet the children seem to learn more than many other young kids their age.

Parent #2
The Montessori Method is different from traditional curriculum. Most of the child's day is spent going through stations, which are not necessarily play, but they are hands on 'work' stations with the teacher guiding them in how to do the activity before they attempt it.
