School Mission
Our mission is to foster the naturally developing minds of children. We believe Montessori is a way of life. From the environment to the education & meals, everything is meant to provide children with the best experiences. We provide a child-centered environment; where each child has responsibility and ownership over the classroom as well as their learning. We want to mentally empower, build self-confidence and enjoyment in the classroom that will last a lifetime. Our Preschool We provide all the fun of a preschool experience as well as a great foundation of education every young child deserves. Rogue Valley Montessori Preschool uses the Montessori approach to educate Preschoolers between the ages of 2.5-5 years old. We provide a bilingual and multi-cultural preschool experience. We focus on concept development in order to provide the best foundation for abstraction in later years. We bring nature back into the classroom to inspire a child's natural rhythm, bring tranquility, and respect for our planet. We offer a mixed aged classroom experience, developmentally appropriate natural didactic materials, guidance, and a child directed learning experience. |

Additional Benefits
Balanced Educational Environment We provide students with a balance their young minds need. Children are exposed to work through group lessons, one-on-one lessons, and student teacher lessons. Montessori work sessions allow children to get into a quiet workflow free of distractions a child can self-reflect and self-teach. Children are given the option to be both students and teachers. Play is also essential for a young child. Creative play is encouraged in the early mornings and afternoons to build on their creativity and out of the box thinking. A mixture of outside play and yoga provide their physical activity demands. A peaceful rest time is also provided. Story time supplies rest for their bodies and minds. Older children that need more mental stimulation are given the option to work the S.T.E.M. room. The S.T.E.M. work session prepares them further in the subjects of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics readying them for the demands and skills they will need as global leaders.

We must help the child to act for himself, will for himself, think for himself; this is the art of those who aspire to serve the spirit. -Dr. Maria Montessori
