We stand out because…
Everyone on our team – administrators, lead teachers, assistant teachers, and enrichment specialists – is dedicated to creating a strong sense of community and delivering the best educational experience in the area
“And so we discovered that education is not something which the teacher does, but that it is a natural process which develops spontaneously in the human being. It is not acquired by listening to words, but in virtue of experiences in which the child acts on his environment. The teacher’s task is not to talk, but to prepare and arrange a series of motives for cultural activity in a special environment made for the child.”
– Maria Montessori in The Absorbent Mind
