Whoever touches the life of the child...
Welcome to Our New Montessori Academy Website
MONICA BENITEZ.jpgThank you for visiting our school website! Our site was specifically designed for parents, students, and staff members in an effort to rapidly and securely provide key information to the Montessori Academy community.

The easy-to-navigate menus will inform you about school events, lunch menus, fundraising activities, PTO and MATI (teacher training program) information, the school curriculum, the parent handbook, and lots of Montessori related articles. One additional section of interest, In the Classroom (a content directory maintained by our staff members and school volunteers), will provide you with information pertaining to specific classrooms and grade levels.

reg_button.gifThe website hosts an array of information that will be exclusively and securely shared with the Montessori Academy community. Only registered users [current parents and staff] will be able to access the classroom specific information.

The kindergarten year is a critical component of the three-year Early Childhood Montessori program. This is the year when children's earlier experiences are internalized and reinforced. When they leave Montessori before kindergarten, many of their earlier learning experiences may be lost because they are not reinforced or commonly understood.

Yearbooks
The 2007-2008 School Year yearbooks have been a complete success... We want to thank Ms. Madeline Valledor for her outstanding work in designing, compiling, and puting together this incredible memento for our school children. For those of you that have not ordered one and would like to have a piece of Montessori Academy's history, we still have a couple of copies available...

We have now begun to work on our 2008-2009 school yearbook... and would like to make all of our parents and students a part of it...

Sessions begin on Jun 9th and end on Aug 8th. Shirts are available at the front office.
Drop Off
If you need to come into the main office, please park your vehicle in the designated parking spaces. This will ensure that the traffic flow during drop offs will remain efficient and safe.

Dress Up and Drama Classes
We are in need of costumes for the children's Dress Up/Drama classes. If your child has outgrown their costume, please consider donating them to the school.

The children and the classroom teachers will be very grateful.
Instill Good Habits
alarm_clock.jpgInstill good habits by teaching your children to be prompt for school. Arriving late, not only cause interruptions in the classroom, but also hinder your child from learning many topics we teach at circle time.

Classroom activities start at 8:30 AM.
