What Grasslands Montessori Academy Offers

Our program allows the child to focus upon ordering their environment and to become familiar with academic concepts through concrete manipulation. A love of learning results which prepares the child for a lifetime of education.
A carefully prepared Toddler environment has been designed for the young child ages 18 months to 36 months. This environment has been created in a “home like” atmosphere where the children can move about, freely engaging in purposeful activities.
Extended Care School Activities are provided by Grasslands Montessori for the children in the Toddler and Early Childhood Programs. We offer the extended hours as a service to our parents who work outside of the home. Extended school activities are structured to compliment the learning that will take place daily in the Montessori Classroom.

Why Learn With Us?

" What is the Montessori?
Within a Montessori classroom, inspiring children to learn is approached in many non-traditional ways. Children are allowed to experience the excitement of learning by their own choice rather than by force. Consequently, learning is highly individualized, often with a hands-on approach. Dr. Montessori also believed in a vertical classroom. This allows children in a three-year age span to receive instruction together. Benefits of a vertical classroom are many. They include the opportunity for younger children to observe and practice behavior and skills modeled by older children. Older children have the opportunity to mentor younger children, therefore crystallizing their learning process. Knowledge is attained at the child’s pace, not the teacher’s. This promotes the maximization of future learning opportunities.

We provide parents with peace of mind by giving children an exceptional education every fun-filled day in a place as nurturing as home.
