Since 1991, Montessori Children's Community has been dedicated to the enrichment of children. Based on the philosophy and methodology of Dr. Maria Montessori, Montessori Children's Community started with a Children's House program. Over the past 17 years, under the watchful eye of School Head, Terri Modic, MCC has carefully developed each program. Today we offer a morning and afternoon Children's House program, a Lower Elementary Program and an Upper Elementary Program.

Our curriculum is continuous from Children's House through 6th Grade. The curriculum at each level builds on the skills and knowledge acquired in the previous years. We believe that a child maximizes his/her potential growth by completing each program through 6th grade.

We are a strong community of families and staff dedicated to providing the best education possible for every child. When it is time for our students to leave our "community" and attend other schools they are prepared academically and are also socially and emotionally confident. Being part of a nurturing community has allowed our students to develop strong interpersonal skills, moral awareness, and a sense of commitment to making a global contribution. Our programs allow children "to learn how to learn". It is through the completion of each program that children can get the full benefit of a Montessori Children's Community education!

In the next few pages you will get an overview of our programs. Please keep in mind that we strongly recommend a first hand observation of our classrooms. If you have questions after reading through our program information, please contact us directly.
