School Philosophy and Mission
"The mission of Children's House Montessori School is to nurture each child's love of learning; respect each child's individual development; and encourage each child to undertake with confidence that which inspires him/her.
We embrace the fundamental principles of Montessori education and its curriculum to create an innovative learning atmosphere.
We promote honesty, respect, acceptance, dedication and partnership as traits of good citizenship and essential to the success of our mission.
We maintain a carefully planned environment that is safe, child-centered, stimulating and warm to foster independent, experiential learning.
We attract, retain and develop talented, dedicated and compassionate professionals who share the joy of working with children.
We honor diversity in our community and value all cultures, religions, ethnic origins, and economic backgrounds and support the active sharing of customs, perspectives and heritages.
We enrich the Montessori curriculum through activities such as music, art, movement, physical play, and field trips to encourage the development of well-balanced children.
We recognize and respond to the needs of our community in flexible and innovative ways.
