“The most important period of life is not the age of university studies, but the first one, the period from birth to the age of six.”
- Maria Montessori
Cornerstone Children's Centre is an intentionally small Montessori school house for toddlers (ages14 months- 2) through preschool (ages 3-6), founded in a child-centered, research-based approach to early education that includes:
mixed ages in a safe and caring “home life” environment
freedom to explore, within a clear structure and limits
learning by doing, with one’s hands (vs rote memorization)
purposeful development of early reading, writing, and math
emphasis on independence, within a respectful community
cultivation of focus and self-discipline, combined with a work-as-play mindset
