Why Montessori?
What is the difference between Day Care, Nursery School and Preschool? Day care centers are generally for the purpose of caring for children on an all-day basis.  Nursery Schools are generally experiences in socialization and play.  Preschools are oriented toward educational experiences combined with socialization and play. The Montessori Program is comprised of a three year program with kindergarten included.

What is the Montessori Method of Education? The Montessori Method of Education is basically a unique approach to learning.  Rather than "teaching" the child concepts, an environment is designed to stimulate the child's interest and facilitate her/his understanding and learning capacities spontaneously - with little or no adult intervention.

What is the purpose of the Montessori Method? The main purpose of the Montessori method is to develop and environment where the child can unfold spontaneously and manifest the greater person within. 

What is in a Montessori Classroom? The Montessori Classroom is a child-size world.  Whatever is in the world outside can be incorporated meaningfully in the Montessori classroom.  To a child, the world is unmanageable - it is too big, too complex and too confusing.  The materials are designed to stimulate independent exploration.

How is a Montessori Preschool different from other preschools?
In most preschools the children are taught educational concepts in a group by a teacher.  In a Montessori Preschool the children learn concepts spontaneously as they work independently with the many materials in the environment.

What is the training of the staff? The Director-Administrator of the Montessori School is credentialized by the American Montessori Society and licensed by the State of Michigan as a qualified Director of a preschool facility. Each classroom is headed by a directress who has had specific Montessori training from an AMS approved Montessori Training Center.  All assistants are selected on the basis of their awareness of the child and dedication to the principles of child development.
