Little
Flower Montessori School is a community of children,
parents, teachers and staff dedicated to the
Montessori philosophy. We at LFMS are committed to a
culture that fosters respect and compassion and
honors the spirit of childhood.
Little Flower Montessori School provides a warm,
supportive and personalized environment for children
from 2
1/2 to 12 years of age. By creating a
prepared space designed to meet the developmental
needs of each child and encouraging the free
exploration of that space, we give children the
opportunity to engage their whole personality.
They become aware of and attuned to their own needs
and authentic nature as well as those of others.
Montessori believed that education was more than
just an acquiring of knowledge or skills. She
believed that it was, in its truest sense, an "aid
to life". The real meaning of the word education -
from the Latin verb educare - means "to bring forth"
or "to draw out".
With that meaning in mind, a Montessori education
strives to encourage and support the development of
each individual so that every child can discover and
reach his/her potential.
