Description: Our school seeks to minimize the fundamental difference between our students and those who will receive more educational opportunities prior to entering elementary school. The MLKMS school environment unifies the social, physical, and academic functioning of the child using the philosophies of Maria Montessori. It is a critical task to provide our children with an early and general foundation that includes a positive attitude toward school, inner security, the ability to make decisions, self-discipline, and a sense of responsibility to other members of the class, school, and community. This foundation will enable them to acquire more specialized knowledge and skills throughout their school career.
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.
