Bernie's Montessori School

Bernie's Montessori School is an educational institution that values the importance of early childhood education and utilizes the Montessori method. The school's approach is centered around the idea that education is a natural process, not acquired by listening to words, but by experiences in the environment, as quoted by Dr. Maria Montessori. This approach emphasizes the importance of hands-on experiences and self-directed learning, allowing children to learn and grow at their own pace. The school features a nature-based educational approach, with regular nature walks and field trips providing students with hands-on learning experiences. Bernie's Montessori also boasts a safe and fun playground environment, designed with natural materials to promote child sensory development and a screen-free learning environment that facilitates learning through carefully designed classroom environments and hands-on activities. The school prides itself on having caring and stable staff, which is essential for its effectiveness. Additionally, the school has a strong sense of community, with many former students returning as parents or staff members. Bernie's Montessori was founded in 1988 by Bernadette Mallawaaratchy.
