The Montessori Method

Our Mission
Evergreen Montessori House is private kindergarten, preschool and nursery school program tailored to meet each child's individual needs. Our goal is to enable a child to develop intellectually, socially, and culturally as a critical step on the journey to becoming a happy and capable adult.. The Evergreen Montessori School offers developmentally appropriate enriching play and learning experiences to enhance the child's potential for growth during the critical early childhood years.

It is no accident that our student makeup reflects all of the beautiful colors of our nation. It is our absolute belief that in our modern society that our children learn not only to co-exist, but to cherish each others differences. It is this very eclectic blending that makes us such a dynamic and successful country. We seek to develop awareness and respect of other cultures.

Education Methods
The Montessori methodologies are tried and tested with over nearly 100 years of development and refinement. Maria Montessori was the first woman to graduate as a Doctor of Medicine and Surgery from the University of Rome. In 1907 she founded the Montessori movement with the opening of her first "Children's House" to provide preschool education to 40 children ages three to six. She pursued her belief that the early childhood years were of paramount importance in developing capable adults by spreading her concepts worldwide.

In 1929 the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) was established. AMI has developed the most rigorous and comprehensive standards of Montessori education. S.R. Swamy was trained at AMI by Dr. Montessori and her son. He headed all Indian Montessori courses. Gargi Das received her Montessori training under Mr. Swamy. In 1993 she and her husband Siddarth co-founded Evergreen Montessori House.

Standard activities are not forced upon children of a certain age group. We acknowledge that all children are different. At Evergreen Montessori House the ages of the children are mixed. This is due to the fact that children learn from each other socially and intellectually. Mixing the ages is a natural outcome of the family and environment we cultivate.

Classroom Materials
At Evergreen Montessori House we use a variety of educational tools and materials to inspire learning.

All of our Montessori tools are Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) approved. Most of our Montessori tools are imported from Italy and India. The school has invested several thousands of dollars in Montessori and traditional classroom tools.
