“Garden Montessori cultivates the things in our son that we love the most.”   David Kimsey, parent

Philosophy

Garden Montessori School is founded on the following beliefs:

  • All human beings are born with both universal and unique potentials.
  • Each individual has a unique style of learning and pace of development which should be respected and nurtured.
  • Children are active organizers of their own experiences.
  • An inquiring, nurturing, cooperative atmosphere promotes learning and personal growth.
  • Learning takes place through the senses: through manipulating materials, listening, observing, and interacting with others.
  • A school should be a caring community of active and committed parents, teachers and children.
  • Respect for oneself, others, the environment, and life is necessary to develop a caring attitude toward all people and the planet.
