Missoula Valley Montessori

Our goal is to provide a welcoming, nurturing Montessori environment for young children, which guides them in reaching their full potential. MVM strives to create a setting where children are valued and honored; the families feel welcome and informed and the community is enriched by our presence. Through keen observation, a well-prepared environment and our commitment to lifelong learning, we provide an exceptional Montessori education. We are dedicated to instilling in the children respect for the environment, honesty in relationships and compassion for those around them.

Dr. Montessori referred to the small child as the "explorer." Children are natural scientists. At MVM we offer a rich and in-depth science curriculum. Daily science experiments will be presented to the children to lay a foundation of fundamental scientific principles. Independent exploration of science concepts will be encouraged within the classroom so the children are able to fulfill their innate desire to research, experiment and discover every day. Guest speakers will be invited to share their expertise. We will also take the children out into the community to be exposed to the vast scientific offerings in Missoula.
