Our Vision and Mission:
We share Dr. Maria Montessori’s vision of a peaceful world. We envision a world where people can reach their full human potential and live a purposeful and authentic life.
Our mission is to provide a loving and nurturing space for children to explore, grow, learn, and connect with other children and adults in the context of the Montessori philosophy and pedagogy. We offer an adaptive approach to early childhood education; an authentic Montessori program inspired by the schools of Reggio Emilia and moved by the philosophy and teachings of Magda Gerber.
We are guided by the values of:
- respect
- community
- diversity
- collaboration
Our program goals include:
- Supporting the natural development of children
- Supporting the development of self regulation
- To instill a life long love of learning
- To be a support for working families
