Empowered to Learn!
Inspired to Discover!
At Bright Horizons Montessori Schools, we provide your child with an education that lasts a lifetime by following the Montessori Method established by Dr. Maria Montessori and incorporating the most current thinking from today's strongest Montessori practitioners in the field.
The Montessori approach is based on the theory that children develop individually, at their own developmental pace, in a carefully prepared environment. Children are exposed to a rich and highly sequential curriculum of academic subject domains including reading, mathematics, geometry, science, and cultural studies at early ages, according to their individual abilities. Bright Horizons Schools are affiliated with the American Montessori Society (AMS).
Montessori classrooms tend to be quiet and calm, with children working, learning, exploring, and developing in mixed-age groups. Under the direction of a specially prepared teacher, the children experience the joy of learning through a process that ensures the development of self-esteem and provides experiences from which children create their knowledge.
There are several important characteristics to the Montessori Method. To learn additional information about our program and to view frequently asked questions about Montessori, visit Bright Horizons Education.
