Dr. Montessori was an Italian physician and educator. Born in 1870, she was the first woman to receive a medical degree at the University of Rome. She developed her method of pre-school education over a forty-year period during which she observed children directly and worked with them personally. Dr. Montessori devoted her life to the education of children and is honored and respected throughout the world.

Children

All children need affection and friendliness. They require affirmation, encouragement and understanding. The children are encouraged in the development of self-discipline, self-knowledge, independence, an organized approach to problem solving and academic skills and an enthusiasm for learning.

The school is equipped with specially designed Montessori apparatus and materials from Holland, the center of Montessori education. It provides two secure, airy playgrounds with slides, tricycles and play houses. In addition to the regular activities, the pre-school has holiday festivals, parades and theatrical performances put on by the children.

The school day begins at 9:00 a.m. and concludes at 2:30 p.m. for the younger children and at 3:00 p.m. for the older children. Children 2 to 5 years have a one-hour nap after lunch. The school provides snacks in the morning and afternoon and children bring their own lunch. Day care is available before school from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and after school from 2:30 p.m. or 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.

Children are admitted following an interview with parents. Parents are encouraged to visit the school for observation and interview, prior to applying for enrollment.
