Alden Montessori School

Collaboration and kindness are at the heart of Montessori learning ❤
When children work together, they grow academically and socially, building a community of respect and independence. As Maria Montessori said, "Education is a natural process carried out by the child and is not acquired by listening to words but by experiences in the environment."

✨ Gratitude + Good Food = Joy! ✨
Our classrooms were buzzing with laughter, love, and plenty of delicious bites during our Thanksgiving feasts! 🦃🍂

We are so thankful for the amazing children and families who make Alden Montessori School such a special place. 💛

Here’s to a season filled with gratitude and togetherness!

🤠 Howdy, Partners!
Our cowboys and cowgirls had themselves a rootin’-tootin’ good time at Western Day!

They tossed horseshoes, wrangled rings onto cowboy boots, and even got up close with some real-life horses—talk about horsin’ around!
A BIG ol’ Texas-sized thank ya to all the parents who saddled up and volunteered to make this shindig a success. Y’all are the real trailblazers! 🌵🐴

🎃Thank you to all of our families who attended our Annual Trunk-or-Treat. Being with all of you is such a treat! 🎃

Hands-on learning in action! 🌟
Our nurturing environment gives toddlers the freedom to choose, learn, and grow at their own pace—building strong foundations for a lifetime of learning.

Our young chefs in the Elementary class love whipping up delicious snacks to share with friends. Their banana bread, always a crowd favorite, fills the class with sweet aromas and excitement! ❤

Material Spotlight! 🧮

The Addition Strip Board lets kids explore a vibrant grid (1-10 red, 11-18 blue, split by a red line) with numbered red & blue strips. Try blue 7 + red 6 = 13! 🎉 This hands-on tool teaches addends, sums, and how larger numbers divide into tens. They'll master combinations up to 9+9=18! ✨

“The child gives us a beautiful lesson – that in order to form and maintain our intelligence, we must use our hands. ”- Maria Montessori

🌸What the hand does, the mind remembers. -Maria Montessori🌸

The essence of independence is to be able to do something for oneself. Adults work to finish a task, but the child works to grow, and is working to create the adult, the person that is to be. Such experience is not just play... it is work he must do to grow up.
-Maria Montessori

🌎The first essential for the child’s development is concentration. The child who concentrates is immensely happy. -Maria Montessori 🌍
