The Little Red Schoolhouse of Montessori
Welcome to The Little Red Schoolhouse of Montessori   
Mission Statement: Our goal is to provide a rich environment for children to cultivate their own desire to learn. This goal is achieved when children experience the excitement of learning, explore their creativity, develop at their own pace and actively share in the learning process. All of the children are recognized and treated as unique individuals.

The Little Red Schoolhouse of Montessori provides pre-school and kindergarten instruction using the Montessori method to students aged 2-6.

What is a Montessori Preschool?   
It is a special place for the child to work on the building of himself. It is a prepared environment, containing materials and activities that stimulate the curiosity of the children, allowing them to learn through discovery.

Dr. Maria MontessoriThe children are guided by their own interests and periods of readiness, choosing the activities spontaneously themselves. The work enables them to attain skills, refine muscular control, build concentration and work towards becoming independent within their environment.

The founder of the method, Dr. Maria Montessori, felt that young children learn by doing, and that they become self-disciplined by concentrating on purposeful activities. The materials accommodate children of different age levels, with various levels of ability. The younger children emulate the older ones, and they are stimulated to work with more challenging activities.

Ideally, the children who attend the program will do so for the full three years. It is in the third year of the Montessori preschool that we can see perfection of all the skills and new knowledge that has been learned from the indirect preparation of the first two years.

Maria Montessori Says...
"The secret of good teaching is to regard the child's intelligence as a fertile field in which seeds may be sown, to grow under the heat of flaming imagination."
