Peace Montessori is devoted to the philosophy of Dr. Maria Montessori. We apply her principles for the education of children ages 2 to 12 to achieve academic excellence for each child. We emphasize learning with respect for all people and cultures. We strive to create a carefully prepared environment so that our children will freely interact and grow in peaceful harmony with their friends, family, and society. |

In the Montessori Preschool, five distinct areas constitute the prepared environment: - Practical Life enhances the development of task organization and cognitive order through care of self, care of environment, exercise of grace and courtesy, and coordination of physical movement.
- Sensorial enables the child to order, classify, and describe sensory impressions in relation to length, width, temperature, mass, color, etc.

What is the Montessori Method? This is a method of individualized instruction stressing independent learning. It is an approach to education which develops a child's potential by means of a prepared environment, utilizing specially trained teachers and self-correcting materials. What is a "prepared environment"? This is a classroom that maintains a certain order in which a child can feel free to develop at his own speed, according to his own capacities, and in a non-competitive atmosphere. He learns to work by himself, enjoying the presence of other children but not always working directly with them. |
