Why montessori?
The Montessori approach provides children with a nurturing environment, while engaging families and the community in the children's process of growth and development.
Montessori as a holistic, humanist approach provides the ideal setting for quality early childhood care and education that impact children not only for the participation period, but also on the long term.
