How do we create a culture where children are excited to learn?

Love how the light is playing in our classroom. This material is for gently cleaning the leaves of our indoor plants. As children learn to care for plants, they practice being gentle and attentive. It is such a beautiful, sensorial, and enticing activity.

Our Montessori Together series begins today!

Our peaceful, carefully prepared environment is waiting for the children to arrive. Every activity has a purpose and follows a thoughtful, logical sequence. This external order helps children—and adults—develop a greater sense of inner order and calm.

During our sessions, caregivers will also practice observing their own thoughts, emotions, and reactions. This awareness helps us respond to children with greater calm, understanding, and intention.

Children are always observing us. They learn not only from what we say, but from how we move through the world, handle challenges, and relate to others. That is why Montessori begins with preparing the adult.

Montessori Together is about connection, reflection, and becoming the adults our children need as they prepare for life.

So, who are the teachers here?

The children, of course.

Why does your child insist that things stay “just so”?

Young children have a powerful sense of order. They feel safest when the world around them is predictable and organized. That is why they may notice when a chair has been moved, become upset if their routine changes, or insist on doing things in the same sequence every day.

This isn’t stubbornness—it’s how they build their understanding of the world.

In a Montessori environment, we carefully prepare the classroom to support this natural need. Everything has its place, the daily rhythm is consistent, and children gain confidence because they know what to expect. From this foundation of order grows independence, concentration, and inner peace.

If you would like to see how a thoughtfully prepared Montessori environment nurtures your child’s development, I would love to welcome you for a tour of Sequoia Montessori School. Come experience the calm, beauty, and joy of a small Montessori community where every child is truly seen. 🌿

Our very special, small, child-centered school has one opening for the next academic year for a child ages 5–10.
At Sequoia Montessori, children are known, supported, and inspired. We do advanced math, hold rich book clubs where children read classics and have deep conversations about what they read, create plays, study world history, and work on meaningful projects.
Children learn independently and in small groups. They feel safe, challenged, and excited to grow.
I love our school. It is a truly special place we have created.
Join us!
