Waco Montessori School Excellence, Because children are worthy of nothing less. We believe that the child:

must be considered as a whole.

Welcome to Waco Montessori School

The mission of Waco Montessori School is to educate children in a nurturing, stimulating Montessori environment that appreciates and celebrates each child, encourages respect for oneself and others, and develops life-long learning and problem-solving skills. At Waco Montessori School

We believe that learning:

-occurs in an inquisitive, cooperative and nurturing

atmosphere
-can be maximized in an environment that fosters physical, intellectual, creative and social independence
-takes place through the senses. Students learn through manipulating materials and interacting with others.
-These meaningful experiences are precursers to the abstract understanding of ideas. The physical, emotional, social, aesthetic, spiritual and cognitive needs and interests are inseparable and equally important. can increase knowledge through self- and teacher-initiated experiences which incorporate Montessori's traditional and whole language methodologies. develops most fully in the partnership between teacher and his or her own family.

In the Montessori classroom, small group lessons provide opportunities for individualized attention, peer collaboration, and hands-on discovery, meeting the student where they are.

Every student’s voice is heard, their pace is respected, and their curiosity is nurtured.

Today we celebrate Dr. Maria Montessori’s birthday!

Our students celebrated the life of our beloved Maria Montessori; her vision for child-centered education continues to inspire curiosity, independence, and a lifelong love of learning, and her legacy, the gift of “love for learning” she gave us all!

One beautiful aspect of the toddler Montessori classroom is food preparation.

From carefully preparing the food to serving themselves, each step gives children the opportunity to practice real-life skills in a purposeful and age-appropriate way. The Montessori classroom guides the child from wanting it done for them to “I can do it myself.”

The child gains a beautiful sense of independence and responsibility at such a young age.

Cultivating concentration is a special part of the Montessori classroom. Children are able to concentrate deeply and for a long period whether a teacher is watching them or not.

Children are encouraged to fully engage themselves in work that sparks their curiosity. The carefully prepared environment reduces distractions and fosters focus, allowing the child to succeed.

“As soon as concentration has begun, act as if the child does not exist.” -Maria Montessori

The First Great Lesson is a unique part of the Montessori curriculum.

It tells a story of our universe and is presented through a series of carefully crafted science experiments. This lesson highlights the interconnectedness of all things in creation, emphasizing that everything has a purpose and contributes to the overall harmony of the universe. It is designed to awaken a child's imagination and curiosity.

6th level students presented the first great lesson to all upper elementary students.

UE1 students then took a look at other creation stories, collaborating to read and summarize, and then presented them to their classmates.
