We subscribe to the following educational beliefs:
- Every child has a right to develop to his or her own fullest potential at his or her appropriate pace
- Children learn through play
- Well designed toys and puzzles stimulate development in reading, writing and math
- Montessori materials, under the guidance of a skilled adult, have the potential to be progressively extended as a child develops, revealing ever greater insights
- Children are not tiny adults. They have their own developmental stages, needs and capacities that must be understood to optimize learning
- Children intrinsically love learning, order and even quiet
