Why Montessori?
Montessori schools use effective methods of teaching that have been developed over the last 110 years. There are more than 4,500 Montessori schools in the United States and over 20,000 worldwide. We attract families of all classes, races, philosophies, and religious and secular backgrounds.
Our success stems from our basic teaching principle that we follow the needs of the individual child. Our prepared environment, freedom of choice and freedom of movement around the classroom allows a child to achieve their fullest potential. Our mission is to activate a desire to learn in every child.
Maria Montessori said, “One test of the correctness of education procedure is the happiness of the child.” Children’s happiness is also our mission. Children will only want to continue to learn if they are happy doing it.
Why Now?
We have a good understanding of new technology, and we appreciate the great digital inventions of our time. We also understand the consequences of excessive interaction with these technologies on children and we understand the need to create a balance.
While these technologies and can put children in touch with tremendous amount of data, it can also make children feel isolated, powerless, and overwhelmed. Many child development experts consider it crucial to give children a good foundation – emotionally, intellectually, and sensorially – before introducing often one-dimensional technologies.
Why Us?
Baldwin Oaks Academy is a beautiful natural environment for child to enjoy the Montessori experience. Constant shade from our ancient oak trees and three playgrounds help to make playtime a learning time for our children.
Our classrooms are neat and cheerful they have the latest Montessori materials. Children feel that they are in a second home.
Our current curriculum includes foreign languages, American Sign Language, and yoga. Our administration, lead teachers, assistants and other staff members, and our wonderful parents create a school family environment.
We invite you to join us.
