Mission Statement
The mission of Shalom Montessori is to provide an excellent Jewish Montessori environment in which to celebrate and foster each child's natural love of learning. We are dedicated to preparing children for lifelong learning by teaching cooperation, challenging intellects, nurturing the desire to learn and engendering self-confidence. We achieve this in an environment that is safe, fun, rewards curiosity and where the teachers care deeply about the development of the whole child. We have unshakable faith in the giftedness of all children and their ability to realize their fullest potential in a child-centered environment where it is safe for them to explore with all their senses, have successes, make mistakes and celebrate learning.
