Another Wonderful School Year!
It has been an amazing year of learning, laughing, growing and giving here at The Montessori Family School! :)
How incredible it is to witness how children who are given a nurturing, safe and happy environment blossom into curious, capable and inspired learners!
Our Montessori program focuses on whole-child development; social, emotional, academic and physical well-being are equally supported.
Whether we are in the garden, cooking, learning our sounds or doing math, each child is met at their level and gently nurtured to try new things. This results in happy, confident children who feel empowered in their learning. They seek out new challenges because they are excited and motivated to learn.
Take a few moments to check out our year in photos and see why The Montessori Family School is the ideal environment for your child to blossom!
We have only 1 space available for the 2018-2019 school year.
Give us a call to RSVP to our OPEN HOUSE or just to chat about our program!
