Nurturing a Love of Learning to Last a Lifetime
Guiding children 15 months-6 years of age
The Montessori School of Casper’s mission is to provide value centered education based on the principles and philosophies of Dr. Maria Montessori which fosters love for learning and prepare children to be productive students and citizens. “Following the child’s natural development, based upon the individual needs of each child as well as a balance between freedom and responsibility, we will nurture a respect for self, others, and the world while fostering self-motivation, independence, and a universal awareness.”
-Dr. Maria Montessori
What is Montessori?
Montessori is a comprehensive education starting with the understanding that the child is driven from the earliest moments of life to construct him/herself. This construction of mind and body is formed by spontaneous interactions with the child’s environment. Dr. Montessori had no preconceived notions of how to help the child with this development; but instead, developed her methods by extensive observations in many different countries over a long period of time.
Enrollment
The primary purpose of the Montessori School of Casper is, in the words of Maria Montessori, “to help the child to help himself.” Our goal is to establish a positive learning environment that allows for the potential of each child to develop. We are interested in creating an environment which is positive and fulfilling.
Our School
Montessori School of Casper is a developmental preschool that helps children realize their full potential. The education provided at the School is based on the methods and theories originally developed by Dr. Maria Montessori and her associates. These methods and theories are managed under the Association Montessori Internationale (“AMI”). The School is accredited by the AMI in the United States (“AMI-USA”) to identify an authentic Montessori education.
““The education of even a small child therefore, does not aim at preparing them for school, but for life.” ”
Words from our Families and Alumni
“We wanted our children to have the opportunity to learn how capable they already are, to become confident in their own abilities. Montessori School of Casper provides an environment of constant learning, everything has a lesson. She has a desire to learn new things and share the knowledge with others. It has been a joy to see the wonder of learning and pride in accomplishments that are completely her own.”
-Grooms Family
““Scientific observation then has established that education is not what the teacher gives; education is a natural process spontaneously carried our by the human individual, and is acquired not by listening to words but experiences upon the environment.””
