Our Military location offers A Montessori/Traditional Program which is an educational system designed to aid children in the development of intelligence and independence. The system was developed by Maria Montessori, an Italian educator and physician. 

Home Away From Home Montessori educators establish special environments to meet the needs of students in two distinct age group: Infancy to 2 1/2 years, 2 1/2 to 5 years. The students learn through activities that involve exploration, manipulation, order, repetition, abstraction, and communication. 

Children from Infancy through the age of 5 develop mentally through their senses. Thus, Montessori educators encourage students in the first two age groups to use their senses of touch, sight, hearing, smell, and taste to explore and manipulate materials in their immediate environment. Montessori students carry out their exploration in groups. The groups are made up of classmates who are different ages and who have chosen to work with one another. The groups then report their findings to the entire class, both orally and in writing,

The Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) sets International standards for the education of Montessori teachers/teacher trainers and for Montessori schools. In the United States, the American Montessori Society (AMS) also trains teachers and certifies schools. 

We are proud to state that we are AMI certified.
