What makes us different
Pinelands Montessori is a close-knit community of parents, staff and students. We strive to assist children to develop to their full potential, to be happy and content, to grow in knowledge and confidence and to have respect for themselves and for others. Our nurturing environment provides children with a broad, harmonious, and holistic education.
Montessori education is unique, based on the discoveries and insights of Dr. Maria Montessori who observed natural child development and designed and implemented an educational method devoted to the individual needs of the child, fostering cooperation, responsibility and independence.
We have a large grassed outside play area which includes a jungle gym, sandpit, trampoline and various other play and exercise equipment.
Our multi-grade classrooms have vertical age grouping for each phase. Our classrooms can accommodate 24 children, each with a qualified Directress and Assistant.
