Using the Montessori method we’ve created an environment where children learn to trust themselves and feel the freedom to explore who they are.  With curiosity and confidence they are allowed to construct their individuality.

At Meadowlark we strive to foster a sense of self-trust in each child and a place to explore social relationships and responsibilities.  Children have an innate hunger for learning, independence and community.  Self-trust and confidence are important parts of developing independence and communicating ones needs and wishes.  Even as they make mistakes, children are able to enjoy each learning process. This is especially evident when confidence is not tied to ability but rather to a sense of self-worth.  At Meadowlark the environment and the teacher allow each child the freedom to make choices that feed his or her own developmental needs. The teacher models, encourages, redirects, and supervises, with gentle guidance.  In a consistent classroom environment with established routines, children are freed from continually having to re-establish boundaries.  The classroom becomes a secure place where children know what to expect.  The children grow as a community while they work on communicating, tolerating and collaborating.  Meadowlark Montessori Children's House is an environment where children are free to explore, create and grow in an atmosphere of respect.

Meadowlark wishes to support and educate parents and families on early childhood development, best practices for early education settings and about the Montessori materials and method.
