Aster Montessori
Aster is a safe, loving and nurturing environment where each individual child is respected. At Aster, we've created an environment where every child feels like they can step into a warm, caring, culturally responsive space in which they can grow emotionally, cognitively and spiritually. The Aster community is built on generations of families coming together to form a diverse, loving and collaborative community.

Aster Montessori is a scientific environment. We have hypotheses, we observe, we follow, and we collect data. There is a method to each material, and a method in approaching and following the child. Each activity in the environment is designed to be a developmental activity - an activity which the child's budding intelligence can understand, his will can choose, and is within the scope of his voluntary movement.  The Montessori method has been shown to inspire a life-long love of learning in children; create critical thinking and problem solving; and stimulate creative and socially cooperative work.  We view part of our work is to continue to advance this beautiful method and share our work with the broader community.  

The beauty behind our school is that we are able to view the environment and the children through a scientific lens with the utmost care and love. Respecting the children and being witnesses to their growth and change is a delicate and lovely dance.  The Aster staff consists of trained professional teachers who adhere to the scientific methodology of Dr. Maria Montessori, who thrive to learn and value professional development as an important part of their growth. 

Aster Montessori is for children ages 3 - 6 years old.
