At The Woods, we provide a foundation that cultivates a lifelong love of learning grounded in peace, respect, independence, and excellence.
“The first duty of an education is to stir up life, but leave it free to develop”
– Maria Montessori
“To aid life, leaving it free, however, that is the basic task of the educator.”
– Maria Montessori
“The greatest development is achieved during the first years of life, and therefore it is then that the greatest care should be taken.”
– Maria Montessori, The Absorbent Mind
Children learn best when they’re actively engaged! ☺️
In Montessori, every lesson begins with the hands. From counting beads to practical life and sensorial activities, each material invites children to explore through touch and movement. As Maria Montessori said, “What the hand does, the mind remembers.” ✨
From the quiet moments of snack time to the joyful sounds of discovery, surprise, and accomplishment — and finally, a sweet birthday song 🤗🎶
Each sound tells a story of independence, focus, and the pure joy of learning ❤️

🕊️✨ Celebrating International Peace Day ✨🕊️
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. 🌎💛
In Montessori, peace education is at the heart of everything we do—teaching kindness, respect, and empathy in our daily lives. Today’s walk was a beautiful reminder of the joy and harmony we can create when we choose peace together. 🌿🤍
👀 We were so busy having fun on Saturday that we didn’t notice someone special peeking over the fence… our friend Monti was there too! 🐿️🤗
Be on the lookout for more Monti sightings — he loves joining in on the fun and learning at The Woods! 🌳✨
