Casa de Montessori, Silver Spring

We at Casa de Montessori view education as an aid to life, as a process. Our role is to preserve and nurture your child's natural curiosity and to develop an openness to the limitless possibilities of life. We believe that children learn best when they are actively involved in the learning process. Children not only learn, but thrive in an environment that is specially prepared to meet their physical, cognitive and social needs, and satisfy their intrinsic interests. Our curriculum offers children freedom of choice in a dynamic, energized classroom where learning is tangible. Casa follows the Montessori philosophy of grouping together children ages 2½ to 6 years old in the same classroom. Casa has two classrooms with 25 children of mixed ages in each classroom. Each classroom has an AMI trained directress and an assistant. There are two additional assistants available to make materials, take children to the bathroom and help out where needed. Lessons are given to children individually, in small groups and to the class as a whole throughout the morning. The children may work in any area in which they have been given a lesson. They may work independently or with other children as their interest leads them or as they are directed. Casa de Montessori strives to provide a structured educational environment where children are carefully nurtured so that they are able to develop to their fullest potential.
