The mission of the Montessori School of Wooster is to provide a hands-on, individualized Montessori program that fosters self-confidence and creative thinking in an environment of peace, respect and compassion. Our science-backed approach to education supports students in developing the skills and competencies critical for success in the 21st century: Critical thinking Collaboration Adaptability Initiative and entrepreneurship Effective communication Curiosity and imagination It is our goal to provide your children with a happy, healthy, and stimulating environment in which to learn about themselves, the world around them, and their place in it. We stress activities which foster their curiosity and allow them the greatest latitude to explore, investigate, and experience their environment. At the same time, we will, in a caring and professional way, show them the appropriate limits on behavior as well as demonstrate positive activities that encourage them to develop a sense of respect for others. In this way, they will find that their relationships are fun, positive, and a source of support. Our daily schedule provides a flexible yet predictable routine that offers the requisite structure that children need in order to place themselves temporarily. Active and quite periods are smoothly linked. A variety of stimulating activities and experiences generate participation and allow the development of individual skills and self-confidence. The center is based largely on concepts of early childhood education developed by Dr. Maria Montessori in the early 1900’s. Her unique approach has been proven in its effectiveness and ability to stimulate, and its appeal is worldwide. The center can recommend a number of background texts that we encourage you to review in order for you to better understand the Montessori methodology. Together with the Montessori focus in our methods, we offer a unique exposure to interesting and stimulating facts, concepts, and cultural experiences that will orient your child to the world they live in as well as the cultural forces that have shaped their own country. We strongly feel that the world our children grow up in will be even “smaller” than ours; an understanding of and freedom from the fear of other cultures and traditions will be crucial to their success.
