Our Approach

Each Child is Unique

Your child is like no other child who has come to us before, and is unlike any child who will come to us in the future. At the Montessori Center for Learning children develop at their own rate. Through the teacher’s belief in the child’s goodness and potential, and the child’s natural desire to learn, children become independent, self-motivated, self-disciplined, and confident.

A Peaceful Place to Learn and Make Friends

At the Montessori Center for Learning we carefully prepare the environment to motivate our children. Our beautiful materials catch their curious minds, and through hands-on activities, they discover the joy of learning. They build, step by step, on their successes and look to the next challenge with eagerness. The materials encourage self-care, sensory awareness, reading, writing, math, science, and geography skills. Art materials, music and movement are also a part of the curriculum.

Moving through the day, either working by themselves or with a friend, the children develop a sense of caring and respect for each other and their environment. Friendships are built as the children cooperate, help, and encourage each other.

The Montessori Center for Learning is accredited by the Nursery and Kindergarten Association of Delaware (NKAD). In their recent evaluation of the Montessori Center for Learning, NKAD reported:

"It was a wonderful experience to witness an outstanding program that evidences academics, respect, and growth of the individual as a whole. The interaction was respectful and caring and representative of a community itself."
