Philomath Montessori School

Philomath Montessori School Philomath Montessori offers a small school community for children ages 2 1/2 to 6.

The mission of Philomath Montessori School is to nurture children’s innate love of learning and urge for independence, guide their self-discipline, meet their developmental needs,​ and connect them to the natural world while developing a community of support for our families. As an independent, private, nonsectarian school for children 2 1/2 to 6 years, we are dedicated to education and the princi

ples of Montessori. ​We have always felt a special connection to Philomath's own beginnings as a place of learning and its name meaning "Love of Learning". Our Values:
Respect for all;
Diversity;
Community;
Compassion;
And the Love of Learning.

Dr. Maria Montessori believed that a child is born with a mathematical mind. From birth, children grow up surrounded by numbers and mathematical concepts, such as, classifying, comparing, sorting, ordering, and patterning. The Montessori approach recognizes this and builds upon the natural development by providing structured, hands-on activities that enhance early learning experiences.

On the surface, pouring water is simply that, pouring water. However, dive a little deeper and you’ll find it is much more. Practical Life work offers many opportunities for developing a sense of order, concentration, independence, confidence, respect for others, fine motor skills, grace and courtesy, and self-esteem.
