Wee Wings Montessori Preschool
Discovering Wings With Faith to Fly
Our mission is to approach the education of a child as an integration of body, mind and spirit.
We allow exploration and discovery, encourage independance and concentration, and model respect of self, others and the environment.
-
Our purpose is to offer an atmosphere where children feel inspired and compelled to learn by choosing activities tha are interesting yet stimulating.
-
We hope for children to learn through doing and to develop self motivation through small successes, along with a hunger to seek greater challenges.
-
We will strive to help all children reveal their innate interests and strengths and to suppor them as they grow into the persons they were born to become.
-
We realize the importance of the development of the spirit of each child and will encourage all to respect that spirit in themselves and others.
