A School In Your Community
We have built our reputation on a highly enriched academic curriculum with a strong focus on the Arts and French as a second language. No subject is taught in isolation as the curriculum is interdisciplinary and interactive. In addition to our core studies in Math and Language Arts, students receive training from qualified teachers in dance, art, yoga, French and music. Students also participate in 20 – 30 minutes of gym activity each day.

Our Mission
We are a community of teachers and parents dedicated to developing the spirit of the child by encouraging independence, curiosity, responsibility and cooperation. We respect the child’s uniqueness, promoting tolerance, good sportsmanship and non-violence. In keeping with the true meaning of the word “discipline”, which is to teach, we choose to model appropriate behaviors by demonstrating kind and considerate ways to behave. We help the child understand that conflicts can be resolved. That everyone has the right to be heard and their feelings respected. We believe that manners are important and sadly lacking in our culture today. To support the child’s social development, we provide daily lessons in grace and courtesy. Our ultimate goal is to encourage self-discipline, respect for oneself, for others and for the planet we share.
Community
Respecting children. Encouraging thought. Reaching out to help others. These are the fundamental beliefs of Montessori & Me. It is the expressed desire of this school to create within each child a sense a community and a willingness to help others in need. Children learn to be of service by participating in various projects throughout the school year. Older students become leaders and role models by tutoring younger students and guiding new students during phase-in.
In partnership with parents, we strive to help each child become a responsible, contributing member of the community and to share what we can, with our global families.
Hear it from our parents!
“It is remarkable to think that indeed 5 months ago our son didn’t know a word of English…I’m amazed every time I hear him and I know this wouldn’t have been possible without the hard work and patience you and your staff have put into working with him. I know it takes an extra to blend an ESL child into that environment and work with him to make him understand not only the new language but all the other things the children learn…We thank you all for all your efforts and appreciate all your efforts from the bottom of our hearts.”

“I never dreamed my child would learn to read, multiply and divide before Grade One. Most of all – I never dreamed my child would LOVE to do these things! Your academic program is outstanding. You break everything down into simple steps and slowly but surely they get it! In addition to the three R’s, you offer a fantastic arts program. This year I didn’t have to rush around enrolling my child in all these other programs like my friends did. At M&M they get to dance, they paint, they sing – they get it all! The M&M program is so well balanced and the class sizes small. I always knew my child would receive the best of care.”
