The Montessori Method:     

"The environment must be rich in motives 

which lead interest in the activity and invite 

the child to conduct his own experience"

--Maria Montessori

 

We believe that the Montessori method of education provides the most effective and fulfilling way to guide a child through his early years, a critical period for learning and setting patterns which will last a lifetime. The Montessori classroom community is a mixed age group where students are provided the opportunity to engage in purposeful and meaningful lessons through the guidance of a certified Montessori teacher. 

The environment is fundamental to the curriculum in a Montessori school. Activities are placed on open shelves for selection as interest and readiness inspire the child. The homelike quality of our school contributes to a relaxed, focused experience for the child, who may move freely between several different rooms.

Our outdoor environment offers a beautiful, developed playground with climbing structures, sand play, and picnic area. Bella Montessori’s goal is to provide a safe and nurturing environment for the child to explore, create, and to bring out each of their own natural abilities. This is the basis for a Montessori education and it is what Dr. Montessori believed would help children reach their fullest potential. It is our fondest hope that we will instill a love of learning to last a life time.  Scroll down for testimonials from parents.

-We have several friends with children close to our daughter's age (3), all with their children in different preschools. I have yet to have one concern or complaint about Bella Montessori. In fact I can't stop saying good things about them. Our daughter attends three half days each week, at this time, and immediately I saw positive results from the choice we made in schools. Her speech, which she has had no problem with, greatly improved, as have her interest in learning her letters, numbers, and how to write. What I am most impressed about is her social skills. She is an only child and every where we take her we are complimented on politeness and general socialness. Ms. Shawna and Ms. Leslie are always very upbeat and very eager to help or give kudos to our daughter as well as give me suggestions on how to continue to improve her developing skills while at home. I feel very lucky that we found Bella Montessori Preschool!

-"Ms. Shawna went above and beyond each and every day to ensure that our son was learning in reading, writing and math.  Not only that, he learned practical things like how to tie his shoes and how to resolve conflicts with friends.  He is in first grade now but we are still seeing and hearing things that he learned from Ms. Shawna :-)  We plan on sending his little brother to Bella Montessori as well!

Ai Ling Nunn

-Ms. Shawna is like a breath of fresh air.  She helped our son, Alex, blossom from a rambunctious toddler into a polite, well-behaved, very intelligent young man.  Through her patient and caring teaching style, he is now excelling through the gifted program in his elementary school.  He loves her deeply and she will always hold a very special place in our heart.

Ed and Kelley Davis

-The Montessori education that our child receives has provided our daughter with a real sense of self accomplishment that she can be proud of.  We feel that it has been a great foundation for her education in the years to come.
