**Serving The Hudson Valley and Orange County Area***  Montgomery Montessori School

At Montgomery Montessori School, we believe that every child has the right to go to a school that is a perfect match for them. Montessori is a philosophy with the fundamental principle that a child learns best within a social environment, which supports each individual's unique development.

It is based on such premises as:

1. Children are to be respected as different from adults and as individuals, who are different from one another.
2. Children create themselves through purposeful activity.
3. The most important years for learning are from birth to age six.
4. Children possess greater sensitivity and mental power for absorbing and learning from their environment than do adults    
   

Our Staff:

Ask any MMS parent and they will remark on the quality of the wonderful teachers at our school. Our long-term faculty members are early childhood professionals who are committed, degreed, and dedicated to the education and development of young children. Some of our staff even have their own children attending MMS. At Montgomery Montessori School children stay with their teachers for multiple years providing rich opportunities for teachers and children and families to really get to know and respect one another. This depth of relationship helps children prosper during their time at Montgomery Montessori School.

Strong Community
If you are looking for a small community to be a part of, your search has ended. The strength of our parent and staff relationships makes for a close, family-like community at Montgomery Montessori School. Parents and faculty work together for the betterment of the children. The children often say how MMS is like their second home. We hope to welcome you to our community and your Montessori experience.

Montgomery Montessori School's young but rich history is the result of its Director's vision. She is a product of Montessori Education and a mother of three. Unsatisfied with the traditional approach to education due to her belief that every child should attend a school that is a perfect match for them, she has aquired greater than a decade of experience directing Montessori schools.

 Montgomery Montessori School is a"Private School" located in Orange County, NY. Our program encompasses a  Primary (prek-K), Elementary Program (1st-5th) and Middle School Program (6th-8th).  Each program has a strong academic foundation while incorporating all the state requirements for Kindergarten as well as the Elementary and Middle School Programs (grades 1 - 8).  We are committed to the "whole child" approach to education as well as the enrichment of the mind, body, and spirit.  To achieve this task,  Montgomery  Montessori School stands on the four pillars of Montessori Education

• Academic Excellence - creating joyful, life-long scholars
• Universal Values - teaching our children those values, which are common to all cultures such as: dignity, kindness, respect, and generosity
• Global Understanding - teaching our children to appreciate and understand other cultures
• Service - we believe all children should be taught to give as well as receive and to be a part of a larger community.
