MorningStar Montessori
MorningStar Montessori is a private preschool and childcare accredited through AMI, Association Montessori Internationale, committed to upholding standards, and seeks to implement only the best foundational and educational opportunities possible for each child.
Our 0-3 classes facilitate developmental milestones of babies and toddlers by providing activities and materials that encourage freedom of movement, exploration, sensory experiences, and many opportunities for rich language experiences.
In the 3-6 classroom we have created a prepared environment, with freedom and limits, where children learn to be active, aware contributors in their own community.
Through purposeful activities with real objects, children learn practical skills, develop self-regulation, motivation, persistence, coordination, organization, concentration, and foster independence.
Concrete, sensorial materials, empower children to gain knowledge and an understanding of academics and culture.
