Outdoors, children are able to garden, collect and identify leaves, label trees, study cloud formations, even find geometric shapes in shadows. The natural environment becomes an extension of the Montessori classroom, and the children delight in making connections between the two. In keeping with the school child's stage of development, going outside provides occasions for new levels of responsibility and independence. VISION FOR THE SCHOOL
Our vision is to be a leader in the field of early education because "within the child lies the fate of the future" and to offer a refuge, an exciting safe haven, and an opportunity for all ages to learn and grow together as we foster understanding and knowledge. Andrews Montessori provides a peaceful place enriched with beautiful didactic materials to nurture children's natural desire for learning. We promote stability and understanding, encourage academic achievements, instill the wonder of nature and inspire creativity within the whole child.
