As an authentic Montessori School we adhere to the core components of Montessori education which are:
1. Trained Montessori Teachers
All of our teachers have received intensive training for the age level in which they work and hold American Montessori Society (AMS) credentials from accredited training centers.
2. The Multi-Age Classroom
Mixed aged groupings fosters reinforcement of learning and leadership skills in older children while enabling younger children to observe and learn through their observations.
3. Using Montessori Materials
Beautiful, high quality materials give children a hands-on approach to learning. Each material is precisely crafted to teach a single skill or concept. WEMS equips each classroom with the full range of required Montessori materials.
4. Child-Directed Work
Children are free to communicate, move and explore on independent paths of learning, motivated by the lessons on which they have been presented.
5. Uninterrupted Work Periods
Creating quiet, respectful, orderly, and productive environments allow the children to have an extended period of time to self-select and concentrate on work at their own pace without interruption.
