Lawrence Montessori Information

Lawrence Montessori has its foundation on Maria Montessori's philosophy which guides us to help children unfold their journey into the love and joy of learning through a very important stage of their lives. We believe that children, when immersed in a respectful and nurturing environment that is age-appropriate, can explore and discover their unknown abilities, and having discovered, can cultivate them. A staff of dedicated teachers facilitates a learning environment that encourages children to grow in independence and freedom within appropriate limits, develop self-discipline and motivation, and learn social skills necessary for success in life. We value diverse cultural and ethnic heritages that families bring to the school community and encourage parents and children to share their traditions and customs with one another to help create a rich and harmonious learning environment. To help children achieve their full potential, we offer Montessori classes for children who are 2½ to 6 years old. Our classroom environment is designed first and foremost with the children in mind. Multicultural and crosscultural aspect of learning is also an important part of our curriculum. The children are encouraged to listen and speak in many different languages such as Spanish, Korean, Hindi, Japanese, Chinese, just to name a few.
