Growing Light Montessori School

Growing Light Montessori School originated from the desire to work with children through loving inspiration. Our truest concern lies in helping your child develop a sense of emotional well-being by helping them to learn to:
*Express themselves so they will be understood
*Experience feelings of fulfillment
*Achieve a sense of self-worth and accomplishment
*Share kindness and generosity
*Learn age appropriate curriculum
*Explore advanced concepts and ideas.

Your child will start the morning off with a wonderful tradition called 'Hands Across The Hall' where all of the children from each class meet in the hallway to sing the school song, make announcements, celebrate birthdays, etc.

Preschoolers will have a circle time, which is mostly teacher-led, introducing academic tools that will guide and support their unstructured choice time. The students also have a great deal of outside play time and music time.

Children have lunch together and the nappers nap while the others continue their choice time.

Spanish is taught both throughout the day casually as well as in structured circle time.
