Arroyo Grande Montessori

"The philosophical foundation of the Montessori approach is based on the premise that education should be an aid to life. In order to develop their physical, intellectual and spiritual powers to the fullest, children must have freedom -- a freedom to be achieved through order and self-discipline. Respect for a child's personality and trust in the inner potential are prerequisites to the foundation of a fruitful educational alliance.
