Welcome to Willow Tree Montessori
Our beautiful environment purposefully serves the child in his work to become and belong in this particular place and time in our history. It is through the child that the great hope of humanity to become more peaceful and harmonious can be realized.
I invite you to join us in consciously cultivating a community that supports the work begun by Dr. Maria Montessori. It is through collaboration with parents, caregivers, guardians, and friends that we are able provide the essential elements which will allow children to deepen and strengthen their roots. It is a gift for your child, for my child, and for humanity.
Our Mission
We understand that the process of seeking the right placement for your child can be a daunting task. Especially if you haven’t experienced all of the benefits of a Montessori education first hand. Here at Willow Tree Montessori we would like to provide you with the reassurance that, if you’re questioning whether Montessori is right for your child, the answer is simple: Montessori is right for every child. With the essential support of the familial unit, we understand that all children will thrive in a Montessori environment.
The Willow Tree Montessori community creates an environment that allows children to develop inner discipline and self-assurance.
Our goal is to activate and support the child’s natural love of learning. We show our respect for the uniqueness of each student by observing and recognizing individual development of skills at periods of greatest readiness and sensitivity.
Our program provides a creative, adaptive environment that responds to the needs of individual children. We seek to balance academic and social development to foster responsibility and cooperation within a supportive learning community.
