We must lay the foundation for peace ourselves by constructing a social environment, a new world for the child and adolescent, so that their individual consciences may develop. A vast education reform and above all a vast social reform are called for today.
-Maria Montessori
Welcome to our website —With a story that reveals a Partnership collaboration that opened doors and windows to a transformative change in our public school system.
We provide and share presentations, activities, and workshops to educate teachers and the public about Dr. Montessori's global philosophy of child development and its system of delivery through Montessori education.
​
Encouraging outreach beyond the early years, we recommend that Montessori Early learning lab schools be associated with Public Schools offering Family & Consumer Sciences Education, believing that this connection offers a vehicle to advance a forward thinking vision for education by preparing all youth for practical life experiences leading to careers in science, health, education, human services, and beyond.

"The child does not work in order to move or in order to become intelligent. He works to adapt to his environment." Maria Montessori
Bridging the Boundaries
We created a bridge between early education and high school. We crossed that bridge by sharing knowledge and experience in our FCS/Montessori Lab School

The time has come to understand that we are the same human beings on this planet. Whether we want to or not, we must coexist. Our children should grow up with the idea that dialog, not violence is the best and most practical way to resolve conflict. ~Dalai Lama
