Morningside Montessori School

MMS is committed to inspiring a life-long passion for learning in every student. Founded in 1966, MMS is an independent preschool that blends Montessori philosophy with current Early Childhood practices to incite young minds as they make connections from the concrete to the abstract. Through the company's philosophies, children are encouraged to le... arn from each other and to pursue knowledge through their own ideas and inclinations. A vibrant faculty, formally trained, is the backbone of the MMS education. Respect for each child guides the company's teachers, making them flexible and responsive. From the safety of the positive environment, MMS students take risks and achieve independence. The MMS staff is also committed to drawing on the many resources in the company's community, reflecting its diversity and honoring the school's ethic of inclusion. A parent cooperative, MMS recognizes and values an active partnership between home and school, parent and teacher. Additionally, within the community, the company's parents make it a priority to get to know and value each other, investing themselves in the institution and modeling for the children. Parent-Staff communication is welcome, and parents are highly motivated to participate in fundraising events, social events, and other opportunities to connect and "give back." The themes of connection and community are further manifested in the world of MMS by the role of Alumni. The company's many two and even three-generation Morningside families offer testament to the powerful foundation the school provides. The respectful, personal teaching style makes Morningside memorable and vital for the company's graduates.Read More
