Description: At Providence Montessori School House we provide students with an early foundation that will create a positive attitude toward school, inner security, sense of order, pride in the physical environment, abiding curiosity, a habit of concentration, self-discipline, and a sense of responsibility to other members of the class, school, and community.
It is a foundation to last a lifetime.
Providence Montessori is committed to serving the whole child, guided by the principles of Dr. Maria Montessori. We nurture a child's love of learning, preserve the child's sense of wonder, encourage independence and imagination, and fostering respect for our entire world.
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.
