About Montessori Children's School
Our school program runs from mid-August through May, and students may also participate in a summer program that runs between our regular school terms. We're proud to offer a Montessori-based program that also incorporates academic structure, helping prepare students for formal schooling.
Learning at your child's own pace.
Each classroom offers a prepared environment that allows children to develop at their own pace. Materials and "jobs" are carefully made to self-teach the child. This "control of error" enables teachers to evaluate the child's understanding and correct the child without negative reinforcement.
The goal is to motivate the child to learn and experience independently within a safe structure.
Guiding behavior with respect for others.
A natural "social order" is attained by helping the child make choices based on their feelings. Our program teaches strategies that include monthly virtues and the language of those virtues, guiding behavior and helping children learn to choose actions that lead to positive results.
In this way, children establish a foundation of respect for others and for the environment that goes with them throughout their lives.
Getting ready for Kindergarten
Our school-readiness program focuses on preschool and pre-kindergarten, preparing children both socially and academically. Pre-Kindergarten children are offered a homework program that helps build the beginning of a very important home/school connection.
We encourage parents to attend biannual Parent/Teacher conferences for our Snapdragon and Sunflower classrooms. At one conference, we inform parents of their children's assessment results; at the other, parents learn about the progress their child has made over the year.
