Language is the cornerstone of emotional, social and academic development. From infant through elementary, we offer a rich, multi-sensory approach to language development, which includes Cursive, American Sign language and Mandarin Chinese.

What makes MAB stand out? Our facilities, specially designed for children by Beth Theriot, are over 15,000 square feet of bright, spacious area including classrooms, a gymnasium, library and elementary wing. Our 3 acre wooded grounds offer two playgrounds, garden boxes, outdoor classrooms and a nature trail, maintained by our elementary students.

In Early Montessori, language and independence are the two largest areas of concentration in this level. Children expand both their understanding of language through demonstration and materials in the classroom as well as their spoken language as they increase their vocabulary and practice communicating with those around them.

“We, and our children, can’t thank the school and staff enough for the lessons they learned while there, both academically and socially…Our 3 kids were very different types of students/learners but they each took away the maximum possible from the Montessori method, and learned to challenge themselves…If we had it to do all over again, we wouldn’t change a thing about our MAB experience, except to make it longer.” Read more testimonies about the success of MAB and consider scheduling a visit today! http://bit.ly/2DnLL48

A goal of the Montessori teacher is that as the child grows, the teacher’s importance diminishes. However, as with any pedagogy, the teacher’s ability to apply the philosophy has a significant impact on the quality of the program and the outcomes for the children.

Children learn the importance of peace through their work and social interactions. They are taught that peace often comes from within, but it must be practiced. Peace is also far easier to destroy than to create.

Children are given choices and responsibility and they have significant ownership in their classrooms. Each child learns to lead, follow and how to choose between the two.

In the Montessori environment, teachers look to step back as often as they step forward. Indeed, a goal of the Montessori teacher is that the child is working as if the teacher is not in the room.

In Montessori, from the earliest ages, children learn how their actions affect others. Through planned and unplanned social interactions as well as modeling by the teachers, children learn lessons of grace and courtesy.

At MAB, we encourage mistakes. We even plan for them in every lesson. Mistakes will shape your child’s development more than anything else. So when they happen, we make sure each one is an opportunity for the child to grow and learn. Embrace and encourage mistakes at home.

Video screens provide instant gratification in return for passive engagement. As a result, the child’s patience suffers. #MABProTip
