Philosophy





Hummingbird Montessori offers a delightful indoor/outdoor learning environment in a comfortable home atmosphere. Our culturally diverse Montessori curriculum incorporates a hands-on approach to teaching.

Children are drawn in by daily presentations during a group circle time. An hour-long work period encourages free exploration of materials allowing children to find activities to suit their inner needs.

Mixed ages (2 1/2 - 5 years old) work side by side or together engaging in activities from various areas such as Practical Life, Math, Language, Sensorial, Art, Science and Cultural Experiences.

We model conflict resolution and children gain the skills for dealing with conflict between themselves.
