Our World Montessori is a vibrant community of learners. Our children explore and work together in a nurturing environment. Founded in 2004 by AMS-Certified Teacher Jennifer Graham Haggerty, Our World Montessori has grown from a small nursery program to a thriving school serving over 75 children from 18 months through Kindergarten.
The Montessori Method is an educational approach with a strong philosophical foundation. Main educational elements of this approach include a tremendous respect for self and for others, individualized lesson plans, a true focus on peace education, multi-age classrooms where children support and learn from one another, as well as the opportunity for exploration and discovery. Montessori programs are designed to aid children in their most important work – to become independent, thoughtful, well-rounded adults.
THE AMERICAN MONTESSORI SOCIETY (AMS) is a non-profit educational society founded in 1960, whose purpose is to help children develop their potential through the educational principles of Dr. Maria Montessori. This includes the following: developing Montessori programs, accrediting schools, granting credentials, encouraging research, organizing seminars and symposia, and promoting all other areas which relate to the dissemination of Montessori philosophy. Our World Montessori is proud to be an AMS member school.
Our World Montessori's programs are child-centered. Children learn through the exploration of self-chosen, hands-on materials. Understanding that children learn at their own pace and have a variety of interests, teachers plan lessons based on individual interest and readiness rather than chronological age.
A natural sense of wonder motivates these young learners to explore their connections to the world around them. They are learning how to get along with others as well as understanding each person’s responsibility to take care of not only our school environment, but also the wider community and our planet.
Our World Montessori has two programs: The Primary program is for children 3-6 years old and our Toddler program is for children 18 months to 3 years. The children have daily outdoor play on our playgrounds and participate in nature walks with their teachers.
To meet the needs of our working parents, we offer child care for children in both of our programs. Our Morningcare summer program begins at 8:00 a.m., and our Aftercare program is available until 5:30 p.m.
