ParkSchool-Overview-Fall-2024

This program is specifically designed by certified Montessori teachers to promote the growth of the whole child. Given the freedom and support to question, probe deeply, and make connections, Montessori students grow up to be confident, enthusiastic, and self-directed learners and citizens, accountable to both themselves and their community. They think critically, work collaboratively, and act boldly and with integrity. Connecting with nature. Park’s 34-acre campus houses a waterfall, pond, marsh, greenhouse, woodland, apple trees, gardens, and a plethora of wildlife that will ignite your child’s senses and curiosity. Sensitive periods of learning. Once a skill or knowledge is learned during that critical window in which a child is receptive to acquiring it, it can then be reinforced and deepened as the child naturally becomes a teacher to another child, thus forming social responsibility. Prepared environment. Each area contains activities deliberately designed to develop skills and knowledge such as concentration, coordination, cultural understanding, and cognitive growth through gained experience rather than mere recitation of facts. CORE PRINCIPLES The Children's House at Park is a premier Montessori program for children in their earliest years. Independence and discovery. Child-directed learning empowers your child to determine the what, where, and duration of their learning. As your child is able to explore, discover, and create in a supportive community, they will build confidence and independence. Respect for the child. Children are naturally curious, inquisitive, and ready to learn. Your child will have autonomy to choose their work, move freely, work at their own pace, and self-correct.
