Investing in education now lays the foundation for developing a love of learning for life.
They’ve completed rigorous training in child development and understand how children learn. They love what they do and continue to learn through professional development.
Based on years of scientific research, the Montessori classroom is an inviting space rich with materials and furniture uniquely designed for children. From the sinks to the toilets to the tables, all are made to fit your child perfectly, supporting your child’s developing independence and confidence.
Children are exposed to hundreds of specially designed materials that invite hands-on exploration. They will choose what they want to explore, creating strong neural pathways that contribute to the construction of a strong brain.
We recognize that children have their own unique timetable for development and will learn different parts of the curriculum when they are ready. We teach to the individual needs of your child, not to the entire class or to a group of children.
We take seriously the notion that children thrive when home and school work in harmony. To that end, we offer parent education throughout the year.
The teacher or adult in charge of the classroom will decide what the classroom does and when. The child does not have any choice in how they would like to spend their time, and they will not get to explore their unique interests. Some children fall behind because of this model.
Many schools do not require the same standards of training as Montessori institutions. Because of this, they often lack the in-depth understanding and knowledge of a young child’s developmental needs.
Many traditional models are focused on entertaining the child and filling time. They use toys and group activities to get through the day instead of focusing on the developmental learning needs of the child.
Many traditional school environments are not designed around how children learn best, nor do they take into account that all children learn differently and at their own pace.
"Montessori Academy and Learning Center was recommended to me by my friends. My son at the time, had never been to school and I'm embarrassed to say, as the baby of the family, was completely spoiled rotten. I have spent years teaching pre-k and learning through play has always been important to me. I never focused on standard ways of teaching for my son as I believed he would learn when he was ready.
When my son first started, he had a lot of difficulties acclimating himself to routines and following instructions and absolutely no pencil control. As the year progressed, I was very impressed with everything he was learning in addition to all of the milestones he was surpassing. My goal was to have him used to school and have a foundation of knowledge for when he goes to kindergarten. What he achieved as a result of attending Montessori Academy and Learning Center was so much more.
If you are looking for a school with a supportive community where your child will thrive, I would recommend Montessori Academy and Learning Center every time."
