About
Welcome to Monarch Montessori School!
We're glad that you're considering Monarch for your preschool and elementary school needs! We believe that each child has different gifts, challenges and styles of learning. At Monarch Montessori, each child's individual path is recognized and celebrated.
Our Philosophy
Every school that you encounter will have its own education philosophy. Monarch Montessori's philosophy centers around the principle of individualism. Students perceive themselves as capable of making their own choices, while in constant relationship with other students and guides in the classroom. At Monarch Montessori School, children learn in multi-age settings. Cooperation plays an integral role in the classroom. Students are encouraged to work together, problem-solve and form lasting friendships. Guides aim to understand each child's individual social, emotional and academic needs and craft an educational experience based on what they've observed.
Community Impact
Monarch Montessori School pledges to leave our local community better than we found it. Here's how we can accomplish this goal:
Monarch Montessori School pledges to pay all employees a living wage.
Monarch Montessori School pledges to subsidize public transportation costs for all employees, reducing our carbon footprint.
Monarch Montessori School pledges to encourage career advancement by offering paid training including a six-month Management course for teachers interested in managing a childcare facility.
Monarch Montessori School pledges to set aside at least 10% of all open slots for families who are eligible for the subsidized child care/voucher program.
