At Magnolia Montessori School, each Montessori trained Guide focuses on the individual child and how to nurture and advance him/her as a whole person. We support and guide him/her while making the experience productive, stimulating and fun! Our goal is developing your child into a happy, independent, responsible child. We strive to empower him or her to learn at his/her own pace and learn life skills, such as: Motivation, Independent Thinking, Problem Solving, Decision Making and Self-Discipline. Each child is one of a kind and their education should be too.
