We have had the good fortune of having both of our boys start their education in Hand On Montessori School. This curriculum and environment has given our sons the foundation to be better individuals and contributors in the world in which they live. They learn the basics of interacting with others, conflict resolution, respecting themselves and others as well as the foundations of math, reading, art, science, geography, culture and spelling in a self-paced setting that is guided by positive reinforcement and encouragement. We tell everyone we meet about the value and benefit our children have received by being a part of this unique and child focused environment during the initial years of their schooling when their development is critical. In a world faced with challenges, Hand On Montessori School is a place devoted to building the foundations of strength, security, education, self-sufficiency and confidence in the future leaders of tomorrow.
