“To let the child do as he likes when he has not yet developed any powers of control is to betray the idea of freedom” – Maria Montessori. The Absorbent Mind.

When school and home are in tune, and adults create a consistent environment of love and freedom, while setting firm and kind boundaries, children thrive.

“A child who becomes a master of his acts through… repeated exercises [of grace and courtesy], and who has been encouraged by the pleasant and interesting activities in which he has been engaged, is a child filled with health and joy and remarkable for his calmness and discipline” – Maria Montessori, 2007. The Discovery of a Child.

We want to extend my warmest welcome to all of you joining Oak Knoll in the Fall and express our excitement to be part of your child’s continuous journey of growth!
