Morgans Creek Montessori Preschool and Kindergarten

Morgans Creek Montessori Preschool and Kindergarten Payson Arizona's (+Rim Country) premiere school, serving the community since 2011

Montessori education offers our children opportunities to develop their potential as they step out into the world as engaged, competent, responsible, and respectful citizens with an understanding and appreciation that learning is for life.

* Each child is valued as a unique individual. Montessori education recognizes that children learn in different ways, and accommodates all learning styles. Stu

dents are also free to learn at their own pace, each advancing through the curriculum as he is ready, guided by the teacher and an individualized learning plan.

*Beginning at an early age, Montessori students develop order, coordination, concentration, and independence. Classroom design, materials, and daily routines support the individual’s emerging “self-regulation” (ability to educate one’s self, and to think about what one is learning), toddlers through adolescents.

* Students are part of a close, caring community. The multi-age classroom—typically spanning 3 years—re-creates a family structure. Older students enjoy stature as mentors and role models; younger children feel supported and gain confidence about the challenges ahead. Teachers model respect, loving kindness, and a belief in peaceful conflict resolution.

* Montessori students enjoy freedom within limits. Working within parameters set by their teachers, students are active participants in deciding what their focus of learning will be. Montessorians understand that internal satisfaction drives the child’s curiosity and interest and results in joyous learning that is sustainable over a lifetime.

*Students are supported in becoming active seekers of knowledge. Teachers provide environments where students have the freedom and the tools to pursue answers to their own questions.
* Self-correction and self-assessment are an integral part of the Montessori classroom approach. As they mature, students learn to look critically at their work, and become adept at recognizing, correcting, and learning from their errors. Students are given the freedom and support to question, to probe deeply, and to make connections. Montessori students become confident, enthusiastic, self-directed learners That are able to think critically, work collaboratively, and act boldly— skills set for the 21st century!!!

A few weeks ago, we said goodbye to a very special member of the Morgan’s Creek Montessori family.

Snickers crossed the Rainbow Bridge after 17 years of being a beloved part of our school. Since the very beginning, she shared her days with approximately 170 children, offering comfort, companionship, and plenty of tail wags along the way.

Thank you for everything, sweet girl. You will always be part of Morgan’s Creek Montessori. 🐾❤️

In the classroom- you’ll find a little bit of history!

Miss Roni met Dr. Elizabeth Caspari in the 80s while she was on tour in the U.S. She had the privilege of studying with her - a direct student-descendant of Dr. Maria Montesssori, herself!

Montessori is a child-centered approach to learning that encourages independence, confidence, creativity, and a love of learning through hands-on experiences.

As the only Montessori preschool and kindergarten in the Payson area, we're proud to offer a unique learning environment where children can grow at their own pace.

Now enrolling! We accept new students throughout the year as long as space is available. Schedule a tour and see if Montessori is the right fit for your family. ❤️

Why chalkboards?

One of the many Montessori differences: children begin writing on chalkboards before moving to pencil and paper. This hands-on approach helps strengthen little hands, encourages proper letter formation, and allows children to learn at their own pace. When they transition to paper, they're doing so with confidence and purpose. ❤️📚🍎

Hands-on learning at its finest! 🐟 One of our students brought in a trout they caught, and the class had the opportunity to explore its anatomy up close. Experiences like these spark curiosity, encourage observation, and make learning come alive.
