Pioneer Montessori School believes that each child is a unique individual who needs a secure, loving and stimulating atmosphere in which to grow emotionally, intellectually, physically and socially. Children in the Montessori classroom learn through practical experiences and self-discovery within a carefully prepared, child-oriented environment. Pioneer Montessori provides a comprehensive academic program that runs the full length of our operating hours. We charge one flat fee for full-day children, based on the number of days attending, regardless of child's age or pick-up time.

Evergreen Montessori curriculum is a multidisciplinary thematic approach which offers the child opportunities to explore the dynamic interactions that exist among the physical universe, the world of nature and the human experience. Maria Montessori defined the educational goal as "the development of a complete human being, oriented to the environment, and adapted to his or her time, place, and culture." To achieve this goal we have created a flexible, resource-rich learning environment that encourages concentration, careful planning, and hands on learning. In our classrooms, large common spaces for group lessons and projects are surrounded by smaller spaces for individual work. The flexibility of their physical environment puts children in charge of their own learning experiences and encourages them to solve problems creatively. At Evergreen Montessori, we strive to awaken a curiosity for knowledge and develop a passion for learning. We instill the value of thoughtful and meaningful work that is necessary for the good of self and community. We respect the individual learning style and unique potential each child brings to our school. The location of our campus, the peace of our environment, the integrity and calm of our staff and the individual attention given to each child is what makes Evergreen Montessori School special. We celebrate awareness of culture, art and music. Our yearly school calendar provides more detail regarding the country of the month, artist and the composer. We have three year cycles of celebrating cultures: year one is the continents of Europe, Australia and Antarctica, year two is Asia and Africa and year three is North and South America. Our focus during the continental studies is to understand food, culture and clothing, music and art from different countries.
