Methodist Early
Emerging Minds Emerging Minds Montessori Academy is located at the West Campus of First United Methodist Church but is independent from the church. It is a non-religious Montessori Preschool serving children ages 2-6. The philosophy was developed by Dr Maria Montessori, Italy’s first woman doctor, around the way children naturally learn. It is based upon the child’s developmental need for freedom within structure and for a carefully prepared environment, and on the philosophy that children learn best when engaged in purposeful activity. It is our position that every child is an individual who deserves to be respected and honored and should be given lessons according to his/her unique style and potential in a clean, safe, well-equipped environment. It is our goal to provide every child with a strong academic foundation, to help build a positive self-image, encourage continued community service, and to inspire them to become self motivated independent, life-long learners |
