Building Tomorrow’s Leaders
Villa Montessori School serves the educational needs of children from infancy through pre-adolescence. Recognizing that the children of today are the future leaders of tomorrow, we strive to develop intrinsically motivated and independent learners who will achieve their highest potential, therefore preparing them to become successful participants in society. We challenge the children to learn and explore on an individual basis, as well as develop a respect for others and the environment.
Children at Villa Montessori School
Our Philosophy
Villa Montessori School (VMS) is dedicated to helping children develop and demonstrate a love of learning through respect for themselves, their environment and the entire world community of which they are members.
“Kindness towards all” is the all-encompassing goal of Villa Montessori School.
VMS will challenge the child in an environment of freedom within reasonable limits. Each class with its multi-age group is its own community, within the whole, in which children live and work cooperatively to develop responsible citizenship. Our curriculum equips the children to become responsible citizens with multi-cultural awareness and community involvement.
Our prepared environment with new and challenging activities is designed to move the child from concrete to the abstract and create a positive attitude toward learning. The child will develop a questioning and analytical mind. Creative thinking, problem solving, creative expression, and social skills will develop in the child. The child will gain a love for learning that will last a lifetime.
