CasaCasaCasa Montessori & Orff combines the philosophies and methods of early childhood education pioneers, offering a beautiful and enriched learning environment that has, at its core, an appreciation for the importance of cultural and creative activities. Our vision with both schools, in the spirit of Dr. Montessori's philosophy, is to create an environment that will touch the imagination of the child and enthuse them to their innermost core.Montessori education begins with the simple tenet that children can best fulfill their true potential when encouraged to follow their own natural inclinations to learn. The Montessori Method, founded by Maria Montessori, has been successful in developing the intellectual, physical, creative and social skills of young children since the turn of the twentieth century. In a trusting and non-competitive atmosphere, children gain self-confidence, independence and inner discipline through their own choice of purposeful, meaningful work.Similarly, the Orff Method of music education, developed by German composer and educator Carl Orff, follows the natural musical responses of children and incorporates them into satisfying musical experiences created and performed by the children themselves
MONTESSORI ACADEMY offers unique alternative. Parents searching for a unique alternative in child care and education for their children may find what they're looking for at the Montessori Academy, located at 870 Scotland Avenue. The school serves over 200 children from ages 12 months to Grade 4. This purpose-built facility has an on-site indoor swimming pool, child friendly playground and a music room. The teaching method allows children to develop at their own pace, assisted by the guidance of trained Montessori teachers. Whether an activity's purpose is developing pencil grip, recognizing geometric shapes, learning sounds and numbers, reading phonetically, or developing eye- hand coordination, the Method promotes enjoyment of the learning process. The Preschool has been established since 1980 and the Elementary since 1990.
