A classroom is so much more than a space—it’s the people who fill it. 🤍

Every curious question, creative idea, laugh, challenge, and moment of discovery makes our Montessori community what it is.

✨ This classroom is nothing without… you in it.
Our students bring the heart, energy, and wonder that make each day special. We are so grateful for every child and family who makes our school community feel like home. 🌿

🌎✨ The First Great Lesson: The Story of the Universe

The First Great Lesson is one of the foundational stories of Montessori education. Maria Montessori developed this story to help children imagine and understand the creation of the universe. Through beautiful language—such as the “dancing of the elements”—children are introduced to scientific ideas and the natural laws that govern our universe, including gravity, matter, and the states of matter.

Every child at WMA experiences the First Great Lesson, but individual classes explore different aspects of the story based on their students’ interests and level of understanding. Some students explored the states of matter through hands-on experiments, while others investigated questions like What makes something a planet? Students researched different types of planets and used their discoveries to create their own books or posters. 🌌📚

🌿 Meet Ms. Ashley! 🌿

Ms. Ashley has been part of the WMA community for 9 years! After discovering Waterford Montessori Academy, she was inspired to make a career change and pursue Montessori education. 💙

We love seeing children choose their work, follow their interests, and grow in independence each day—with thoughtful guidance from educators like Ms. Ashley.

At WMA, we’re grateful for our community of learners, educators, and families who make our school so special. 🦅🌱
