Encourage, but do not pressure, learning.
Respect childhood and know that certain

About Montessori
At Global Montessori School our vision is to create optimal Montessori education and child care environments for children and their families. In addition, we develop flexible, high quality Montessori education programs for families & teachers in training.
The basic aim of the Montessori approach is to help children acquire the confidence and motivation they need to fulfill their own best potential. This is done by preparing an environment which makes activities available that support children's development, build on their interests and nurture their enthusiasm.
The emphasis is on inner motivation based on children's natural curiosity and delight in discovery.
We specialize in the care and education of infants, toddlers, preschoolers, kindergarten and elementary age children. We have created program that allow children to learn, grow and play in an environment specifically designed for them.
We pride ourselves on having a great work environment, a strong commitment to our vision and a cohesive team. We work hard together and we truly care about the programs and services that we offer. We believe that we offer a unique environment in which children can grown and thrive.
