The first time a child independently chooses an activity and then, with deep concentration, sits, and starts to explore the Montessori material is truly amazing.

Emma, teacher for the Polar Bears Class
I am so proud to be a part of the Unicorn class team. My favorite time of the day is when the children arrive in the classroom, ready to go, tackle their day.

A Montessori classroom is full of wonder and to see children learn through play is unbelievable.

Whenever we go outside to play I love watching the children get absorbed in their games, making different discoveries, creating worlds of make believe.

Knowing I helped warms my heart.
