About the Program:
Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. As an AMI Montessori trained guide, mother of 3 children and founder of Casa De Niños Bilingual Montessori School, it is our goal to provide a prepared environment for each child as a whole. The love of work is the most precious gift we can give our children, it is the opportunity to reach their fullest potential, by fostering an environment prepared to meet each of their learning needs. We value every human’s basic needs physically, emotionally, psychologically and spiritually. A child’s desire to work represents a vital instinct since he cannot organize his personality without working: a man builds himself through working. To describe the exactitude of the human mind, Maria Montessori borrowed the term “Mathematical Mind”.
At Casa de Niños we strive to ensure that our students enjoy the beauty and love in our Montessori prepared environment. Everything in the classroom environment, down to the finest detail, is prepared well in advance with the intention that it will be used to enhance a specific aspect of the child’s development. Children appreciate beauty and organization. The desire for beauty in the environment is not a luxury, it is a need for the child; a way for them to connect to the environment. Dr. Maria Montessori’s works were created with the intention of doing just that; to create materials so that they are beautiful and enticing to the child. She believed that objects should be fragile and beautiful. At Casa de Niños, we make the world accessible to the child by having a prepared environment and allow freedom for the child’s human tendencies to become operative within the environment.
Our Mission
To encourage the development of the whole child by providing a Montessori education. We prepare children to thrive. We educate for peace and prepare them for life. Casa de Niños exist to serve children; we continually ask how we may better serve each child. We provide a dynamic environment to encourage personal growth, academic accomplishments and intellectual curiosity. We establish within a child the intellectual, emotional, and physical rigor needed to become a self-directed learner, flexible thinker, creative problem solver, and support their ever-increasing curiosity about the world in which they live.
