Sundrops Montessori School

Vision/Mission/Core Values Sundrops Montessori is a network of schools with a vision of providing education for infants through adolescents that stays true to the footprint of Montessori’s principles while also adapting to cultural changes. Dr. Maria Montessori’s philosophy was created on scientifically based observations and has had a profound influence on education over the past century. It is implemented around the world proving to be effective across cultural boundaries and socio‐ economic levels. At Sundrops we strive to educate by nurturing the social, emotional and cognitive developmental needs for each student, individually. Our mission is to awaken your child’s natural desire to learn in an environment where trust, respect, responsibility, community and cooperation flourish. Our classrooms are specially prepared environments with materials that stimulate a student’s sense of curiosity and offer dynamic learning at a student’s own pace. The Sundrops Community follows a core set of beliefs: Respect  Value self-respect, respect for our environment and respect for others of diverse background and learning style. Empower  Inspire intellectual creativity and academic potential using dynamic, scientific materials and methods in a trusting environment. Community  Nurture a sense of family and environment where respect, trust, integrity and responsibility foster optimal learning. Independence  Instill freedom with responsibility for learning self-reliance and honesty in our actions. Peace  Maintain harmony by resolving differences through empathy, dialogue, and when necessary, mediation. Environment  Nourish responsibility and care for the environment, for what we grow, for the air we breathe and for the food we eat.
