Montessori Institute-San Diego

"The MISD Children's House adheres to the philosophy and theory created by Maria Montessori through her observations and experimentations with children from all backgrounds. She created a method and scientifically designed educational tools that respond to the specific stages of development universal to all children. Using this method we are able to provide a safe and stimulating environment which, through discovery and exploration, allows children to develop lifetime social, physical, emotional, and spiritual attitudes that lay a solid foundation for a socially responsible adulthood. The end result of such an education is an independent, self-confident, child with a love of learning.
