General Info


School Philosophy & Day in the Life

School Philosophy and Mission

"We recognize that the young child has unique capabilities for absorbing information and culture, unparalleled by any other time in his/her life, and that the mind has a remarkable ability to sort and order this information. We utilize the sensitive periods of development described by Dr. Maria Montessori as guidelines in planning our curriculum; these include sensitive periods for the absorption of language, attention to order and detail, movement and refining sensorial perceptions. In addition, we agree that character development at this age is best taught through simple grace and courtesy lessons as children widen their social circle and become active participants in a community beyond family.


We seek to offer children a non-competitive, joyful and healthy learning atmosphere, which is well ordered and sequentially structured according to skill level, and where human relations and social skills are exemplified in such a way that they can be imitated.
