"The elementary child has reached a new level of development. Before he was interested in things: working with his hands, learning their names. Now he is interested mainly in the how and why... the problem of cause and effect."
                                                  - Maria Montessori

"Enrolling our daughter into American Montessori was one of the best decisions we made in her education thus far. She attended for 3 years and we were very impressed with the wealth of knowledge she was able to absorb in that period of time. Thank you American Montessori for your level of commitment to education! We will highly recommend you to everyone we know."
