At The Woods, we provide a foundation that cultivates a lifelong love of learning grounded in peace, respect, independence, and excellence.
โThe first duty of an education is to stir up life, but leave it free to developโ
โ Maria Montessoriย
โTo aid life, leaving it free, however, that is the basic task of the educator.โ
โ Maria Montessoriย
โThe greatest development is achieved during the first years of life, and therefore it is then that the greatest care should be taken.โ

๐๏ธโจ Celebrating International Peace Day โจ๐๏ธ
Today we came together, dressed in white, to walk in peace and unity. With flowers, doves, and handmade peace signs in hand, our students proudly carried the message that peace begins within ourselves and extends to the world around us. ๐๐
In Montessori, peace education is at the heart of everything we doโteaching kindness, respect, and empathy in our daily lives. Todayโs walk was a beautiful reminder of the joy and harmony we can create when we choose peace together. ๐ฟ๐ค
๐ We were so busy having fun on Saturday that we didnโt notice someone special peeking over the fenceโฆ our friend Monti was there too! ๐ฟ๏ธ๐ค
Be on the lookout for more Monti sightings โ he loves joining in on the fun and learning at The Woods! ๐ณโจ

Happy (belated) Birthday, Maria Montessori! ๐ฅณ๐
This year marks the 155th anniversary of her birth, and we celebrate her incredible legacy. Dr. Montessori showed us the power of fostering independence, honoring each childโs individuality, and nurturing their confidence to make a difference in the world. ๐โจ
