Saint Anne Montessori School is a school that strives to be faithful to modeling and fostering Gospel values in care, in understanding, in education. “Let the little children come unto Me...for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven”.

Saint Anne Montessori School is owned and operated by the Sisters of Saint Anne of Saint Marie Province. It was founded as a non-profit corporation in 1964. Our school provides a preschool experience for children between the ages of three and six. An interview is required before acceptance is granted.

Saint Anne Montessori School does not discriminate in providing services to children and their families on the basis of race, religion, cultural heritage, political beliefs, national origin, marital status, sexual orientation, or disability.

Maria Montessori based her philosophy on respect and love for children. We believe in and support these ideals in all that we do. We strive for a harmonious balance of freedom and structure. We encourage the children to be independent, assisting them only when necessary. We provide the limits necessary for comfort and security while allowing the children to make their own choices.

Careful observation of each child allows us to draw conclusions about what interests a child. It allows us to see not only how the child approaches a task but gives us a clear indication of his/her coordination, ability to concentrate and his/her sense of order. These basic skills are vital for all future learning. This information becomes essential as we prepare to introduce the child to new activities. We build on what the child already knows and then increase the challenge and interest level as the child progresses. This is the premise on which any true developmental program is based.

What a child learns in school reflects how successful the school is in helping the child make the academic and social connections necessary for his/her growth. However, no child can be successful without the support and understanding of his/her family. The family is the vital link in the child’s development. What a child learns at home reflects the values which the family considers important for the child’s development within the family structure. The triangle which this creates, the school - the child - the family, forms the structure upon which the child’s security depends. By sharing the responsibility for the child’s support we can witness together the child’s joy in his/her success and participate with the child in his/her continued progress
