About the Provider

Description: Village Montessori is dedicated to fostering the development of the whole child by implementing the philosophy and curriculum pioneered by Dr. Maria Montessori. Dr. Montessori taught that individual children would progress at their own pace if placed in an enriched environment that nurtures human development. By meticulously preparing our classroom, we have created a special place where children are free to experiment, explore and learn on their own. Through observation and gentle guidance, we provide an individualized educational process which allows the environment to develop the child, rather than the adult.
