The director and staff of Spring Valley Montessori School believe that a child can learn naturally and happily as part of his or her normal growth. They are sensitive to the fact that each child is a unique individual with different needs and aptitudes and each child progresses at different rates. All early learning takes place initially through the senses. Given a prepared environment, the child will choose, from the varied and rich stimuli present, the tools necessary for his or her own natural growth. By working with the concrete Montessori materials and solving specific problems the child will reach comprehension.
Children have a sense of worth and value of what they do.
They choose all activities of life, eagerly and spontaneously, and become totally involved. The work process involves attaining skills, refining tasks, developing sensitivities, strengthening concentration, solving problems, and achieving new insights. Parents are a vital part of our program and are encouraged to be actively involved in parent education and the various committees at the school. Curriculum Spring Valley Montessori School provides a solid, balanced program for ages 3 through 14. Language studies include reading, writing, spelling, creative writing, and conversational French.
