Village Montessori School (VMS) is truly a special place. In the years that our children have attended VMS we have been amazed and inspired by the growth, independence and level of learning – across all areas of development – that has transpired. At VMS our children are constantly encouraged to explore and question. Explanations and lessons are offered at a level of complexity and depth often not afforded to young children. The natural curiosity with which they approach their environment is supported and celebrated. The importance of respect, courtesy and grace is demonstrated, reinforced and strengthened by teachers and peers. The emphasis on and expectation of independence, is ever present in their work and play. They are genuinely “learning to learn”. We never imagined how these lessons would manifest in every aspect of our children’s growth. We believe that this is not only a reflection of the Montessori Philosophy, but of the culture and philosophy of Village Montessori School. At VMS we have found much more than a school. We have truly found guidance, friendship, support, encouragement and community for our entire family. As our oldest child so simply put it, not too long ago “school is where I feel best”. What a wonderful start to a lifetime of learning.
