Testimonials
The teachers are WONDERFUL! The school and families there are so welcoming and we truly value the focus on maintaining an authentic Montessori curriculum. Our child has truly thrived during their time here.
Every day, our children are excited to come to school at WMS. They have supportive teachers and school staff and a truly inclusive student body. This environment has allowed the kids to become confident of themselves and very grounded in who they are.
The Curriculum
Our Toddler Program nurtures essential life skills in a supportive and engaging environment. By the time children complete the program, they can independently dress themselves, manage toileting, and confidently follow classroom routines. They develop social-emotional skills by interacting kindly with peers and teachers while also learning responsibility through tasks like washing hands, cleaning up after meals, and helping prepare snacks. These foundational skills set the stage for a smooth transition into the next phase of their Montessori journey, fostering independence, confidence, and a love for learning.
