Jennifer's believes that we all must do right by every child and appreciates the privledge of serving children and families at Magnolia Montessori School. Maria Montessori brought to the forefront of early childhood education the importance profound respect for the child manifests. Children are sacred and so too must our reverence for them be.

"The children of today will make all the discoveries of tomorrow. All the discoveries of mankind will be known to them and they will improve what has been done and make fresh discoveries. They must make all the improvements in houses, cities, communication, methods of production, etc. that are to be made. The future generation must not only know how to do what we can teach them, they must be able to go a step further."
