About Us
An authentic Montessori experience where kids build confidence, autonomy, independence, and concentration. Nurture your child’s spirit and ignite a love of learning!
What is Montessori?
The big ideas:
-
All children are whole people and inherently worthy of respect
-
Good education is the key to making the world a better place. Children are the future.
-
Children are naturally curious and want to learn.
-
Every child is learning on their own timeline.
-
Playing is the work of childhood. A concentrating child is working very hard and deserves to have their work respected.
What do these big ideas mean in the classroom?
-
Mixed age and mixed ability classrooms.
-
Teachers prepare the environment for the child, not the other way around. Materials are low and within reach. Furniture is smaller and more accessible.
-
Freedom within limits. The child is free to choose what to work on, to work as long as they like, and to take movement breaks.
"It's the best place in Chesterfield for education! I love how the school is not just for the elite, but for people who want their children to be a true citizen of the world."
