At our Montessori school , learning extends far beyond the classroom walls. This week, our kindergarten (Lion Club) and elementary students took their education outdoors, rolling up their sleeves to work in our hands-on learning environment —our backyard garden! 

One of our core objectives is to build a community where each child learns to be an essential contributor. So how do we do it?

Montessori fosters independence and community. Even in individual work, children learn cooperation, empathy, and responsibility—essential skills for life. Discover how social growth happens naturally in the classroom.

From crafting to carnival fun, our students embraced the joy of Purim with hands-on learning, laughter, and celebration.

Jewish wisdom and Montessori philosophy blend seamlessly, fostering a learning space where children grow with confidence and deep-rooted values.

Our school pond is not just a peaceful retreat—it’s a living classroom! Throughout the year, children witness the changing seasons through the lens of aquatic life, learning valuable lessons about ecosystems, adaptation, and care for living things. Right now, our goldfish in the pond during cold weather are having icy cold temperatures. Did you know that… Koi and goldfish are cold-blooded creatures , meaning their body temperature and activity levels adjust to their environment. As water temperatures dip below 50°F (10°C): Fish reduce their activity and settle near the bottom of the pond, where the water is slightly warmer. Their metabolism slows down , so they eat less, digest food slower, and rely on stored energy to sustain them during the winter. (Feeding them during this time can actually be harmful!) They take a deep nap – Dormancy! In freezing conditions, fish enter a state of torpor , conserving energy until the water warms again.

You chose Montessori to give your child a strong start—why stop now?
