Bringing Excellence To Students
School Life
As a LEED certified/Green school it is the goal of Pennington Montessori to provide its students with the optimal environment that is conducive to learning. We strive to help children make healthy choices when it comes to hygiene, fitness and what they choose to put into their bodies for fuel. We emphasize physical activity by taking time for vigorous outdoor playground activity every day that the weather permits or running in our considerable indoor open space! We believe a fit body is essential to a healthy mind. Exercise promotes lean muscled bodies and fit bodies are ready to learn! Healthy food choices are stressed through in-class food preparation and special guests who highlight the importance of nutrition from an early age.
Mission & Philosophy
Our belief is that a child’s greatest learning occurs between birth and 6 years of age, a stage Maria Montessori termed, “the absorbent brain”. This environment allows the child to experience abstract concepts in a hands-on way. The teacher uses continuous observation to identify and address individual children’s needs. This ensures that each child achieves their academic and personal goals.
Support
Fundraising is a key part of our school’s non-profit status. The annual fund, special events, and fundraising are all opportunities for families to get involved.
