Our Mission Statement
​The mission of AMS is to create a loving and nurturing environment where children can learn, grow and become productive and fulfilled young people. We strive to be flexible regarding our families' needs while having a positive impact on our community. 
The Montessori Philosophy
The principles of the Montessori Method are contained in  these five basic ideas: 
1. Respect for the child
2. The absorbent mind
3. Sensitive developmental periods
4. The prepared environment 
5. Self-education
Why Montessori?
​Montessori emphasizes learning through all five senses, not just through listening, watching, or reading. Children in Montessori classes learn at their own individual pace and according to their own choice of activities from hundreds of possibilities. Learning is an exciting process of discovery, leading to concentration, motivation, self-discipline, and a love of learning. Montessori classes form communities in which the older children spontaneously share their knowledge with the younger ones.
