School Philosophy and Mission
Children are naturally motivated to explore and learn all the time. Our school program is designed around the needs of the child to express creatively, pursue understanding, and develop character. Discovery Montessori School offers an environment which will provide for the broad spectrum development of young children through free choice, progressing from "hands-on" activity to abstract thought.
