Dr. Maria Montessori developed the Montessori Method over 100 years  ago. This scientific method consists of creating an environment that  gives the child freedom to explore and achieve their highest potential.  Each child is respected and observed individually so that they may  progress at their own rate. Every area in the classroom is available to  each child.

There are lessons throughout the classroom that will satisfy the  various levels of readiness in each child. This allows young children to  learn about many things that they otherwise may have been exposed to at  a much later age if at all. They get a well-rounded education in a  Montessori classroom. Sure they learn traditional academics but they  also learn how to care for themselves and be independent as well as  exploring different cultures around the world. They learn about having  respect for themselves, others and the environment they inhabit.
