"The greatest sign of success for a teacher is to be able to say "the children are now working as if I didn't exist."
-Dr. Maria Montessori

🌏 🌍 🌎

Children learn, first and foremost, through their senses, and a Luma Montessori classroom engages all five senses on a daily basis. Through specifically designed objects like Pink Tower, Brown Stairs, Knobbed Cylinders, Color Tablets, and smelling bottles, your child refines their fine motor skills and learns to pair the tactile with the intellectual.

Language runs across the entire Luma Montessori curriculum, with an early focus on letter forms and phonetic awareness. Tactile materials like sandpaper letters and a moveable alphabet make language a hands-on pursuit for your child. Storybooks, paper, and writing instruments encourage your child to explore the rich world of language every day.

Children learn best when they are free to move, free to choose their own work, and free to follow their interests.

You child will leave Luma as a future-ready learner

By controlling the environment - not the children - your child's teacher serves as a trusted guide and mentor to her emerging intellect.
