At Metropolitan Montessori Schools, it is our goal to provide rich and positive learning experiences to the children, families and early childhood professionals we serve. Our philosophy is grounded in the teachings of Maria Montessori, which we believe provide the strongest foundation for learning and growth.Montessori's years of research revealed that the first six years of a child's quest for knowledge are characterized not by ordinary curiosity but by an acute need to learn and explore. Montessori's research culminated in a vision of a series of special environments that would preserve that joyful regard for learning by supporting and fulfilling each stage of a child's development. As she stated, "The education of a very small child does not aim at preparing him for school, but for life." The journey to self confidence, independence and competence begins as soon as the child enters into our program. The life lessons of respect, cooperation, appreciation for others, problem solving, and responsibility are modeled and practiced at MMS on a daily basis.
