The Tidewater School Tidewater School is a vibrant community in which children are inspired to learn through hands on work

The Tidewater School was founded in 1986 by educator Nancy Libertini in response to the need for a developmentally appropriate school for young children in Southern Maryland. Tidewater blends its Montessori curriculum with an Adlerian behavior model to help inspire and support children's intellectual, social, and emotional development. We pride ourselves on supporting and connecting both children and families through classes, seminars, and social events.

“When I say that we must take the child as our teacher you will probably object, saying we must educate the child and give him all sorts of information, that he must learn the subjects we think important. Do not have these prejudices. When his energies are freed, the child will be better able to learn than before. ”
Maria Montessori
The 1946 London Lectures, p. 33
