Montessori Teaching and Philosophy

The teachers of Rosehill Montessori School bring to the classroom an unparalleled expertise provided by extensive specialized training in the methods of Montessori education. Each Directress is a skilled observer who uses her training to provide children with the guidance, assistance, challenges and encouragement necessary to facilitate individual development. In addition, our Directresses utilize their technique to recognize and promote creativity, spontaneity and initiative.

The Montessori philosophy itself was founded upon standards of excellence set forth by Dr. Maria Montessori. The classrooms and curriculum of each school affiliated with the American Montessori Society must meet Montessori's standards since it’s founding in 1975. As a parent-run, not-for-profit Montessori school, Rosehill has remained dedicated to education, not economics. Rosehill’s curriculum is extensive, covering every aspect of the Montessori Classroom, as well as history, all cultures and current events. Our experienced teachers strive for a freshly developed and interesting curriculum to meet the needs of our children.

Further explanations about the principles of the Montessori teaching method and its philosophy can be found in the About Rosehill — Montessori section of the web site or in Rosehill's Parent Handbook.
