We are an accredited Christian Montessori school offering a loving and individualized hands-on approach to learning. Children acquire a love of learning by working at their own pace in a nurturing learning environment. Our program provides for spiritual, intellectual, social and physical development based on each child's individual strengths.
Our teachers give instruction on an individual or small-group basis. Children are taught to respect the classroom environment and materials, and to respect themselves, others, and our earth.
We were etablished in Fall of 2001 and we currently have two mixed age classrooms of children ages 3 through 6 years old... preschool and kindergarten. Each class has a teacher and an assistant and a maximum of 20 children.
Our mission is to nurture and respect the unique gifts and character of the whole child and to inspire academic success, spiritual growth and compassionate responsible citizenship rooted in a respect for self, others and our earth.
8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m Monday through Friday
