Welcome to Treehouse Montessori Child Development Center

Treehouse Montessori Child Development Center provides an integrated curriculum of learning through exploration, peer learning and self-reflection. In every class, our teachers emphasize the strategies and processes involved in learning and self-growth, creating a unique opportunity to prepare our students to live intelligent, thoughtful, and fulfilling lives. Our program is based on the method formulated by the Italian physician, scientist and philosopher Dr. Maria Montessori, born in 1870. She initially developed a method to work with children who had special needs focusing attention. Her methodology was soon realized to benefit all children and spread internationally.

In today’s rapidly changing society, with the multitude of distractions,stress and over-stimulation, the Montessori method is pivotal to create mindfulness, focus and attention. The primary principles of her method are observation, individual liberty and preparation of the environment. “The potential of the child is not just mental, but is revealed only when the complete “Montessori method” is understood and followed. The child’s choice, practical work, care of others and the environment, and above all the high levels of concentration reached when work is respected and not interrupted, reveal a human being that is superior not only academically, but emotionally and spiritually. A child who cares deeply about other people and the world, and who works to discover a unique and individual way to contribute. This is the essence of real “Montessori” work today”.

From the standpoint of education Dr. Maria Montessori observed that there are critical periods for optimal learning in early childhood and the role of a Montessori teacher is to provide the support and create the environment that will reinforce the development process of the whole child. The process of engaging a child requires observations of what the child is attracted to and then building and expanding on that with the educational material. With freedom of choice, the child is engaged with an “absorbent mind” which creates the development of intellect. Through repetition a child reaches a level of mastery and develops self -esteem and self -confidence.

The Montessori method is an individualized approach to education. It encourages creativity, curiosity and leads children to ask questions, explore, investigate and think for themselves as they acquire skills.

Our Mission

Our Mission at Treehouse Montessori is to help children grow both in and out of the classroom by fostering their self-esteem and confidence. Montessori materials have control of error,which is a method of self-correction built into the materials and teaching methods in a Montessori program and provide children with correcting their work. Through repetition, they learn to perfect their work and gain a sense of mastery that leads to success, positive reinforcement and ultimately the confidence to believe in themselves.
