"To assist a child we must provide him with an environment which will enable him to develop freely.” Maria Montessori
Our work is about one thing above all else – the individual development of your child. Children's Own School's hiring process, supervision cycle, and on-going professional development is designed to ensure our teachers meet our high educational standards.
