History
Situated in the historic Hillcrest neighborhood, The Children’s House Montessori School has been providing a Montessori education to generations for thirty-three years.
At The Children’s House, the emotional, intellectual, physical, social and spiritual aspects of your child’s growth are all of equal importance. The prepared environment of the Montessori classroom ministers to the needs of the “Whole Child”. We begin with practical and social skills, not just academic skills. Keeping track of personal belongings, putting things away, dressing oneself, sharing an adult, sharing materials and respecting the limits of the community, are some of the many aspects of total development which are the initial benefits of the Montessori pre-school class. These are the foundations for growing independence.
In this spirit, we invite your child to take part in an unique educational opportunity in an environment prepared especially for his needs and interests. Our curriculum includes language, mathematics, geometry, geography, history, pre-history, botany, biology, music and art. Ours is a house where your child may work and grow at his own pace. The class and activity rooms, equipped with Montessori apparatus, conventional and improvisational materials, are part of a total concept of education that extends the classroom to the natural environment, the home, and the community.
