Supporting the holistic development of each child, through authentic Montessori education and direct experience beyond the classroom.
At Wildwood Montessori School, we understand that academic learning is only one part of a child’s healthy development. Social skills, concentration, self-regulation, and practical life skills are all essential for a child’s path to independence. Our classroom environments are designed with children’s developmental needs in mind, and each child’s individual growth is actively observed and nurtured by our experienced guides.
Our program integrates authentic Montessori curriculum and philosophy with daily extended periods outdoors. Our mission is to instill values including community, respect for others, reverence for the natural world, and responsibility for one’s self.
Montessori Education
“The secret of good teaching is to regard the child’s intelligence as a fertile field in which seeds may be sown, to grow under the heat of flaming imagination. Our aim therefore is not merely to make the child understand, and still less to force him to memorise, but so to touch his imagination as to enthuse him to his inmost core.”
- Maria Montessori, To Educate the Human Potential
Work & Play Outdoors
“Nature inspires creativity in a child by demanding visualization and the full use of the senses.”
― Richard Louv, Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children From Nature-Deficit Disorder
Preparation for Life
“The child gives us a beautiful lesson – that in order to form and maintain our intelligence, we must use our hands.
-Maria Montessori
“It is not enough to provide material for the child to work in school. He demands to go out into the world.”
— Maria Montessori, Citizen of the World
