Social Mission

Nightingale Montessori is deeply committed to implementing the educational philosophy of Maria Montessori as a paradigm shift in traditional education and as a model for social reform.

To teach is to create a space in which to practice
obedience to truth and reverence for life.

Core Values: The values that are held and practiced at Nightingale Montessori are grounded in a firm belief that every child's intelligence manifests itself naturally from birth as a lively fascination and curiosity about the world around him. We design learning experiences in which all children can succeed. This instills a sense of confidence and resourcefulness that serves them throughout their lives.

Enriched Environment: When children grow up in an environment that is intellectually and artistically alive, warm and stimulating, they spontaneously ask questions and explore ideas in creative ways. The capacity of a young mind to absorb information from the environment and comprehend new concepts and skills is one of nature's greatest wonders.

Assessment: The strength of the Nightingale Method lies in the studied ability of its teachers to diagnose and assess children's individual learning needs, develop age-appropriate measures of evaluation, and plan programs that accommodate the diversity of interests, experience levels, and socio-cultural backgrounds of every child.
