Philosophy
The Montessori Philosophy states that children have sensitive learning periods especially between the ages of 0 and 6 and that each child learns at their own individual pace. It is during these early years that each child’s individual gifts and abilities will be encouraged and supported to reach his/her maximum potential. You will find classrooms filled with fascinating and colorful learning materials that children can utilize individually or with their peers. The children will be introduced to individual as well as group lessons to encourage their learning through peer relationships and play. We will introduce new activities in practical life, sensorial, math, language, geography, cultural and science curriculum to your child individually, when he/she is developmentally ready. Also, through a Montessori approach, we offer activities in art, Spanish, yoga, gardening, science, cooking, sign language, and music, creating a fulfilling experience for each child. We view your child’s presence in our school as a privilege and look forward to a rewarding school year!
Location

About our program
The purpose of Our Montessori School is to provide a unique, authentic Montessori education for children between the ages of 6 weeks and 6 years, Infant care, Toddler and Preschool, through Kindergarten. Our Montessori certified teachers will guide children through the prepared Montessori environment. We believe that appropriate education received at these early ages creates a love of learning for a lifetime.
Admissions
The admissions process begins with a visit to OMS and meeting the staff. We encourage you to spend time with your child in the classroom observing and introducing them to their new environment. We suggest bringing a family photo to keep in the classroom to provide comfort for your child while you are away. This is a great time to ask questions and become oriented with the OMS community.
