Welcome to Waco Montessori School
The mission of Waco Montessori School is to educate children in a nurturing, stimulating Montessori environment that appreciates and celebrates each child, encourages respect for oneself and others, and develops life-long learning and problem-solving skills.
At Waco Montessori School
We believe that learning:
-occurs in an inquisitive, cooperative and nurturing atmosphere
-can be maximized in an environment that fosters physical, intellectual, creative and social independence
-takes place through the senses. Students learn through manipulating materials and interacting with others.
-These meaningful experiences are precursers to the abstract understanding of ideas.
We believe that the child:
must be considered as a whole. The physical, emotional, social, aesthetic, spiritual and cognitive needs and interests are inseparable and equally important.
can increase knowledge through self- and teacher-initiated experiences which incorporate Montessori's traditional and whole language methodologies.
develops most fully in the partnership between teacher and his or her own family.
Montessori is an approach to education with the fundamental belief that a child learns best within a social environment which supports and respects each individual’s unique development.
Each Montessori classroom operates on the principle of freedom within limits. Every program has its set of ground rules based on core Montessori beliefs – respect for each other and for the environment.
The multi-year span in each class provides a family–like grouping where learning can take place naturally. More experienced children share what they have learned while reinforcing their own learning.
