About the Provider

Description: The process of growing is different for each child. Children must learn to separate from parents, become self-aware, manage simple tasks, and begin to discover their world. We at the school share with you in the challenge of these tasks. Our philosophy at the JKL Montessori School is to aid, guide, and care for each child as he or she progresses through our Montessori-based program. The patience, understanding, love and commitment to a gradual "budding to life" are our goals for your child.
