White Flint Children's House Montessori School, Rockville

In keeping with Dr. Maria Montessori's vision, the mission of White Flint Children's House is to awaken the love of discovery in our students by nurturing creative, artistic endeavors, evoking a passion for learning, and allowing children to achieve their potential at their own pace, while teaching the values of acceptance, family, leadership, pride, respect, diversity, and independence.

Our vision, firmly rooted in our unshakable dedication to the principles and ideals of the Montessori method, it to significantly expand our reach and influence by creating a broader circle of Montessori families, enlarging the size of our student body while representing even greater diversity, establishing further innovative programs, and improving upon our cadre of imaginative and dedicated teachers. In the long-term, these efforts will substantially increase our overall contribution to the creation of a solid foundation that provides our children with a balanced, effective education and a life-long love of learning. Laying this groundwork plays an imperative role in nurturing young children while equipping them to engage life as global citizens who will become active participants in solving the various challenges of our time.

The classrooms are comprised of several interrelated areas: Practical Life, Sensorial, Language, Mathematics, Art, Social Studies, Music/Movement, Geography and Science. The daily routine is complemented by a full range of cultural experiences including: drama, music, poetry, art, Spanish, and occasional field trips. White Flint Children's House instills in each child a sense of acceptance and understanding through our diverse learning environment. The school is non-denominational and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, or disability in the admission of students, employment of faculty, or administration of policies.
