School Philosophy and Mission
"\"To develop and nurture the intellectual, creative and human potential of our children through excellence in all our endeavors\"
A Montessori approach is described as an \"education for life.\" Our priority goes beyond the development of just the child's academic skills. Children are taught to become self-confident, independent thinkers, interested in the world, and enthusiastic about life. This excellence in learning and development is achieved by prescribing to the following:
• Learning is based on the principles of respect and independence.
• Children learn to think for themselves.
• Each child is considered to be a unique individual.
• Children are driven by cooperation and collaboration, rather than competition.
• Children learn from concrete experience and direct interaction with the environment.
The learning environment is carefully prepared to reinforce the child's independence and intellectual development.

The Wild Tangle of Grasses
If there was a single photo that could capture my feelings and thoughts about the past year, this would be it. It reminds me to keep looking toward the brightness of the light, even if I am caught in the wild tangle of grasses. This shot reminds me that
Montessori? Waldorf? Play-based?
What school type is right for your child? Is one model better than another? What does the research say?

Today's “Preschool’s Out” Activity
Trace around your child's foot, with shoe on, on a piece of white construction paper or card stock. Have child cut out the shoe print and add a spooky face. Glue it to a popsicle stick and you have a ghost stick puppet!
