We’re so lucky to have Hartley Nature Center as an extension of our classrooms. Just a short walk from our school, our elementary students have the opportunity to take their Montessori learning outdoors—exploring nature and making new discoveries along the way. 🌿 (fb)

✨ Students returned this week to beautifully prepared environments - spaces our teachers spent countless hours readying during the two weeks before school began. In Montessori education, the prepared environment is at the heart of learning. Every material, shelf, and workspace is designed with purpose: to foster independence, spark curiosity, and allow each child to grow at their own pace. As Dr. Maria Montessori reminds us, “To assist a child we must provide [them] with an environment which will enable [them] to develop freely.” (fb)
