Discovery Montessori Preschool

About our School

Discovery Montessori Preschool offers much more for children than  simply daycare.  We provide a stimulating learning environment,  appropriate for curious and growing preschoolers.  The Montessori  Method of teaching offers children a chance to become enchanted with  the love of learning by exploring the carefully prepared environment.

Our center provides a child driven program with the staff guiding and  encouraging children at their own pace.  We help each child perfect his  or her natural tools, or building blocks for future learning.  We provide an  extensive collection of specialized Montessori learning materials, which  are child friendly and inviting, displayed on accessible open shelves.   Our children work together in a multi-age classroom where we  encourage cooperation and where children learn from each other in a  natural community environment.  Our goal is to create an environment  where self-expression and learning are enjoyable, for both individual  development and group learning.

Home Away From Home
Our small size and home-like facility (maximum 24 students at one time)  encourages community.  Our teachers offer warm and loving attention,  providing the intimate feel of extended family.  We offer a teacher-child  ratio that exceeds state standards.  Our program and philosophy build  continuity between school activities and home life.

Staff
We employ people who are warm, nurturing, understanding, and  educated in child development.  They each apply their knowledge in the  classroom and respect the child as an individual.  We seek employees  who value working as a team with the children, parents, colleagues, and  volunteers.

The school is operated by an Early Childhood credentialed  Teacher/Administrator.  The support staff has varied levels of ECE units  and credentials.  The administrator and support staff attend workshops  and conferences to update their education and knowledge.  Twice a year there are in-service days for teachers to prepare materials and  classrooms.
