Primary Program

Since its inception, one of the aims of the Montessori Fountainhead School has been to present the Montessori environment in a home-like, non-institutional atmosphere, where children - even those who have never been away from their parents - can quickly feel comfortable.

The constant overriding concern of the Montessori Fountainhead School is the development of the "whole child" through his/her sensitive periods and stages of physical and intellectual growth by means of creative education according to the principles and techniques conceived, elaborated, and refined by Dr. Montessori.

Frequent conferences with parents, both in person and by telephone, strengthen the necessary professional involvement in teacher-child relationships.

Elementary Program

In the elementary classroom, Montessori students build on the foundation they developed during pre-school, adding detail and depth of understanding to their knowledge of language, mathematics and manipulatives. In addition, students are given more responsibility for their own work, teaching them initiative, responsibility and time/self-management.
