Mission Statement
Our Mission: At Alden Montessori, we are dedicated to the principles of Dr. Maria Montessori.
Our goal is to form a warm, welcoming alliance among educators, parents and students, to cultivate a strong sense of self-reliance and self-motivation within the child and to nurturing their natural love of learning.
Children are active learners who thrive in the Montessori environment. Their ability to learn independently through the Montessori materials enables the children to enjoy the learning process which they take with them throughout their lives. The Montessori method inspires children to discover, question, and think through hands- on exploration, challenging the children to work to their full potential regardless of age or grade. Montessori children grow to become respectful, social, moral human beings.
