Beautiful School Carefully Prepared Environment
WELCOMING CLASSROOM ENVIRONMENT
The place your child spends the most time outside of home should be an environment filled with warmth and beauty.
At Wendy Montessori, we believe that classrooms should be welcoming, bright spaces and that schools should feel like a home, especially for our younger students.
Our schools are friendly places, full of beautiful materials, carefully designed to meet the needs of the children whose smiles brighten our days and whose daily discoveries and achievements inspire us to do our best work.
Children aren’t just bodies in motion. They are spiritual beings who absorb the world they live in to form their inner being. Children are beautiful and filled with wonder.
They should be surrounded by beauty that matches theirs. Yet too often, preschool classrooms are cluttered places, filled with cheap materials in bright, distracting primary colors. Our classrooms, in contrast, are simple environments, almost Zen-like in their setting. Child-sized wooden furniture defines child-sized spaces.
ENGAGING, VARIES OUTSIDE ENVIRONMENT AND INSIDE PLAY SPACES
Playtime is amazing! We believe in offering children the opportunity to get outside each day, several times if they participate in our extended day programs. Our playgrounds and outside environments entice children to gross motor activity.
Wooden shelves display beautiful objects that call for the children to handle them. Surrounding children with authentic beauty, including things that may be fragile, sends a message to our students: We value you. We believe you are worthy of living in a beautiful, serene setting. You are a responsible person, capable of handling precious things.
FACILITIES THAT ARE WELL MAINTAINED AND REGULAR UPGRADE
Beautiful schools only stay beautiful if they are properly maintained.
At Wendy Montessori, we pride ourselves in investing in the regular upkeep of our facilities—from little things like daily cleaning by a professional cleaner so the classrooms sparkle and smell fresh each morning, to bigger things like updating landscaping, adding equipment, and even reconfiguring classroom layouts that no longer meet our needs.
“There must, however, be provision for the child to have contact with Nature; to understand and appreciate the order, the harmony, and the beauty in Nature; and also to master the natural laws which are the basis of all sciences and arts, so that the child may better understand and participate in the marvelous things which civilization creates.”
