Our Philosophy
Our program at Forget-Me-Not Montessori School is based on the philosophy and methods of Dr. Maria Montessori. Our goal is to educate children to their fullest potential, instill a deep sense of personal independence and social responsibility. We have enriched our program by incorporating Early Childhood Education philosophies to bring the best of both worlds together. We believe that each child is a unique individual and that children can develop to their full potential in a high quality setting. We believe that a high quality setting values and nurtures all areas of a child’s development- the social, emotional, cognitive, spiritual and physical.
Our Beliefs
We believe that a high quality setting values principles of diversity and is accepting, respectful and welcoming to all people. We believe that a relationship with all the partners in a high quality setting: the staff, families and children should reflect principles of respect, trust and fairness. We believe that a high quality setting includes:
● Well trained, warm, nurturing and caring staff whose experience and commitment are valued
● A rich and stimulating environment which can respond and adapt to the needs of individual children
● A predictable yet flexible daily routine that offers children the security of a stable framework for their day
● Ongoing communication between families and staff as part of an open, supportive relationship and commitment to work in partnership
