Core Values
Children Come First
As parents, our children are always our first priority. We take that motto seriously and adapt that to ring true in our facility as well. If not for the children, there would be nothing; this truly is all for them.
Value in Individualized Education
The goal in Montessori is to nurture each child's natural desire for knowledge, understanding, and respect. Children learn in different ways and at different paces. This is why we personalize our educational approach to suit each child. A purposely prepared classroom is essential, as it activates a love of learning through curiosity, stability, and the freedom of choice.
Communication
Often, failure to communicate effectively is the primary cause of difficult situations, this can easily be resolved through the use of proper communication. Appropriate communication in the childcare setting is key in ensuring both your needs and your child(ren)'s needs are met.
Kindness, Integrity, & Respect
Montessori education teaches children to value one another, as well as their teachers, parents, and environment. By treating them with the integrity they deserve, children learn how to act considerately toward others and their environment.
Community
We cultivated a warm, nurturing environment, so each child feels free to pioneer relationships; developing social skills both intentionally and unintentionally. With their classmates being their community, the goal is for 605 Prep to feel like their home away from home.
The Prepared Environment
The Montessori environment is a well-organized room with a wealth of learning materials, designed to promote independence. All classrooms contain developmentally appropriate materials, allowing the child to be active participants in learning.
