To help children achieve their full potential, we offer Montessori classes for children who are 14 months 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.

Our education method is based on authentic and faithful interpretation of Montessori philosophy as originally formulated and developed by Dr. Maria Montessori and further illuminated by many scholars and practitioners. We strive to bring to the parents of the wider community an opportunity to help their children realize their innate potential in an affordable way possible.

She observed that the children learned best when they were engaged in purposeful activities in an environment that is stimulating and appropriate to meet their physical needs. Drawing upon her scientific training, she developed materials, activities, and method based on what she observed children to do naturally by themselves unassisted by adults. Children teach themselves. This simple but profound truth inspired Montessori's lifelong pursuit of educational reform, methodology, psychology, teaching, and teacher training - all based on her dedication to furthering the self-creating process of the child.

Maria Montessori first visited the United States in 1913, the same year that Alexander Graham Bell and his wife Mabel founded the Montessori Educational Association at their Washington, DC, home. Among other strong American Supporters were Thomas Edison and Helen Keller. After Montessori's death in 1952, the practice enjoyed a renaissance in America as parents sought new learning options for their children. In 1960, parent and teacher Dr. Nancy McCormick Rambusch founded the American Montessori Society (AMS) to meet an overwelming public demand for more information on Montessori Education.
