At The Peace Rose Montessori School we pride ourselves on cultivating students who excel academically and  develop leadership skills and a love of learning. A Montessori education  encourages a child’s independence, teaching them to care for their  environment, for themselves, and for others through methods that nurture  their self-reliance, confidence, and social skills. Students receive a  holistic education, studying subjects such as science and geography  while learning about other cultures. They leave prepared to thrive  academically and they also develop life skills such as: taking care of  our earth, respecting themselves and others, speaking up for themselves  in times of conflict, and being independent. Teaching young children  these skills during the most malleable years of their life builds a  strong foundation for them to serve as tomorrow’s leaders.

A sweet girl I had the pleasure of teaching for 3 years had issues  with speaking up for herself when it came to interactions with her  peers. With her teachers’ guidance, working together with her parents,  and the Montessori Method she found her voice. The Peace Rose,  our namesake, is a tool used in the classroom to resolve conflict  peacefully. The child holding the rose takes a turn to speak before  passing it on. This allows both parties to listen and respond, giving  them a priceless skill for school and for life. In addition to becoming  assertive she left with advanced skills beyond her grade level in both  language arts and math.

The Peace Rose Montessori School is not your average preschool. Children learn concepts using concrete  materials that they can touch, feel, and see which leads to a better  understanding. A precocious child will excel and so will a child who is  struggling because each child learns at their own pace. Our lessons are  not based on age but on ability. When a child masters a lesson, they  will progress to the next lesson. If they are having difficulty, they  can repeat the lesson as needed or we will try another technique.

The Peace  Rose Montessori School will provide a safe and nurturing environment  where the physical, social, emotional, and cognitive needs of each child  will be met. Through freedom in the classroom and within the rules of  the Montessori prepared environment, each child will develop his/her  independence, concentration, and love for learning. The  Peace Rose Staff makes this progressive learning environment feel as  safe and nurturing as a one-room school house of long ago. The teachers  spend individual, personalized time with each student. If you are  looking for a special environment where your child’s unique learning  ability is recognized and cultivated, look no further
