LITTLE BLOSSOM MONTESSORI SCHOOL

read moreOur experienced Montessori trained teachers and faculty follow the revolutionary discoveries and educational approach of Dr. Maria Montessori, who started her first school 100 years ago. We provide creative and stimulating hands-on learning experiences that foster age appropriate development. We believe positive reinforcement is important for children to develop a healthy self-esteem in an environment that supports free expression and stimulates learning. Our classroom environment is comprised of six interrelated areas: Practical Life, Sensorial, Language, Math, Geography and Science.

We invite each family to meet with us and learn about our Montessori programs. Our school tours are offered weekdays by appointment. Parent and child attend the meeting together. It is an opportunity for the child to work one-on-one with the directress using our classroom materials. This allows the faculty to determine the best placement of the child.

By five years old, most Montessori children will begin to read and many will be introduced to addition, multiplication, division and subtraction.
