Our early childhood program is designed to ignite a lifelong love of learning by nurturing each child’s natural curiosity and innate abilities. In our thoughtfully curated environment, children engage in hands-on activities that encourage independent thinking, problem-solving, and social interaction.
One of the first female doctors in Italy, Dr. Maria Montessori, helped launch a global educational movement about a century ago.
Dr. Montessori made the observation that young children learned best when engaged in purposeful activity rather than being passively fed knowledge, drawing on her scientific training and clinical insight. She understood that creating an educational framework that respected individuality and met the requirements of the “whole child” was essential for children’s cognitive development.
Her groundbreaking work laid the groundwork for fostering the development of self-motivated, self-reliant, and lifelong learners in all children, from talented to challenged learning. The leading educational reform movement of the present has this as its ultimate objective.
Our goal is to help each child reach their full potential. This purpose is underpinned by Montessori philosophy and values. The mission of Countryside Montessori education is to provide authentic Montessori education based on the principles of Dr. Maria Montessori. By following the Montessori philosophy at our school and care we ensure each child is able to explore and learn at his or her own pace, fostering deep and meaningful learning.
Our teachers at Countryside Montessori are dedicated to working with parents and children to support self-guided growth with development of each child. The philosophy is simple “follow the child,” which states every child is a unique individual who is naturally driven to grow, develop and learn. The educational goals include instilling in children the love for learning, ability to make appropriate choices, respect oneself and others around him and the environment.
