     Why Montessori? “When I first started here I found it to be very helpful to me. I wish I had the opportunity all the children are getting; I don’t think it would have been such a struggle for me. Now this is where my heart and soul are. I have been able to grow and blossom over the years as I hope the children do.”

     Why Montessori? “It helped me personally grow into a better mother, teacher, and all-around person. The gracefulness and order create a peaceful place to work. Watching the children throughout the years grow into capable human beings because of the choices that we allow them to make is extraordinary! I like the idea that children are not pushed into something that they are not mentally ready for. Following the child is what it is all about.”
