Description: Little Crane Montessori School is a peaceful, lively, coeducational day school for children who seek to ignite the essential and lifetime joy of learning. It is a small-sized school, affiliated with the American Montessori Society (AMS) since 1998. The school follows a unique educational method developed by Dr. Maria Montessori (1870-1952).
We believe that the children of our school have the best opportunity to absorb sense, create, and experiment with a nurturing, multi-age classroom, and a highly qualified faculty.
We will guide our students to their goals of developing self-confidence, building a habit of concentration, fostering inner security and a sense of order.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
