"The adult works to perfect the environment, the child works to perfect him or herself." Maria Montessori, The Absorbent Mind

Mission Statement

Guided by the principles of Maria Montessori, our mission is to create a responsive, prepared environment for children 2 1/2–6 years where all children are empowered through self-directed activity to express their intrinsic passion to learn.

Goals

Embracing the concepts of Maria Montessori, we strive to:

• Promote cross-cultural understanding by incorporating foreign language and culture exposure into the curriculum.
• Promote understanding among people by incorporating conflict management and peace-making skills for children in the curriculum.
• Promote respect for the earth through an environmentally friendly classroom and curriculum.
• Promote socio-economic diversity by providing several scholarship slots annually.
