"We must look to the children as a vehicle for bringing change to humanity." - Maria Montessori
We feel so lucky to share the wonders of Montessori learning with such a vibrant, kind, and supportive community. We are looking forward to guiding them as they develop into the amazing human beings they are meant to be.

Classroom Highlights
September 24, 2025
We’ve been together for three weeks now and your children have nearly completed their first studies! Betsy and I decided to try something new with the first research projects this year. Your children worked in mentor teams to complete a biography research study in order to support each other’s growth and understanding of the process. They collaborated on choosing a person, who would take notes on what, and who would make art. We are excited to start hearing the presentations!
At the opening parent meeting I told you about our discussions about multiple intelligences. We now have a laminated list of skills so that the students can look to each other for help in the different areas. Our musical group helped us practice our peace songs for our school celebration on Monday.
It has been so sweet to be in the presence of your children this fall. We started the year discussing the earth and sun, vertebrates, and next we will talk about leaves and seeds. We have exciting new slides to view under the microscope as well. The 6th year students chose Germany and Peru for their MMUN countries this year!
Our classroom agreement team finished up the artwork display and it is beautiful! Please see the attached photos to see their words and the individual sunflowers!
I hope to see you at the Fall Festival on October 5th
