Children Teach Themselves
Every child is a born explorer. Dr. Maria Montessori discovered that children possess an innate love of learning and discovery. She believed that exposure to life experiences was the best method of instruction for children. Touching, opening, using and questioning are all critical components of a child’s academic journey.
Everything in the Montessori classrooms is easily accessible to the children. The

In Montessori classrooms the adult is called a directress/director, and their role is to support and assist the child in working towards his or her fullest abilities. Through daily observations and documentation of the children, the directress/director can help plan and guide lessons according to each child’s readiness.
Children are individuals, each with their own likes, dislikes and possibilities. It is our responsibility to educate each child accordingly; to maximize their independence and growth. Every area in the classroom opens a door to lure the child in, inviting them to explore. Once the child is inside, they may be as creative and spontaneous as they like.
Our purpose here at Countryside is to give your child the personalized approach to the education they deserve. Each child is respected as an individual and is surrounded by a classroom atmosphere of freedom AND responsibility.
With over 100 years of combined experience the staff at Countryside shares a passion for early childhood education and is dedicated to meeting the growing need of today’s children.
