At Children's Garden Montessori School, we pride ourselves on being an early childhood center that uses an eclectic pedagogical approach in a caring learning environment. We believe very strongly that the young child learns through talking and playing with his/her peers in an environment that supports his/her efforts at socialization. We therefore consider that all of the child's time with us is a valuable learning experience and we structure our activities and programs to be centered on the child's needs.
