School Philosophy & Day in the Life

School Philosophy and Mission

"In the Cave Creek Montessori School classroom this objective is approached in two ways: first, by allowing each child to experience the excitement of learning by the child's own choice rather than by being forced; and second, by helping the child to perfect all their natural tools for learning, so the child's ability will be at a maximum in future learning situations. The Montessori materials have this dual long-range purpose in addition to their immediate purpose of giving specific information to the child. "
