MONTESSORI GARDEN has been operating in the north end of Seattle for over twenty-five years. We know that learning is fun and we seek to promote a disciplined environment where children can work and play together with joy.

Montessori philosophy is based on several ideas:
• a child's personal dignity is essential for learning
• all we know is learned through our sensory apparatus
• a child must be free to explore the environment at his own pace
• a child needs sensible, consistent rules and limits
• a child appreciates routine and an orderly environment
• a child is a social being and wants to make a contribution
