What is Montessori and why Country Montessori School for my family?
The Montessori Method refers to a child-centered philosophy of education developed by the Italian anthropologist and physician, Dr. Maria Montessori. It is not affiliated with any religious or political organization. Country Montessori provides an authentic Montessori education based on Dr. Montessori’s principles and the standards set forth by the American Montessori Society. Encouraging a child’s innate desire to learn, providing a prepared child-friendly learning environment, and supporting children’s need to work at their own pace remain the foundation of the program. In addition, our children learn in mixed-age classrooms under the guidance of Montessori-credentialed Directresses. Learning is emphasized through all five senses, not just through listening, watching, or reading. Country Montessori is dedicated to the emotional, academic, spiritual, social, and physical development of the child.
