Philosophy
Alphabet Academy is a child care center and preschool inspired by the work of Dr. Maria Montessori. Alphabet Academy is designed with you in mind – parents who desire a unique and high-quality care and preschool experience nestled in a warm and inviting environment for their children ages 6 weeks to 12 years of age. We believe that children are the greatest gift of life.
Objectives
At Alphabet Academy, our program focuses on learning for life. Working with the sensitive periods Montessori observed and identified in children birth to 6 years of age, our environment is designed to harness opportunities which naturally present themselves and influence your child’s development. During each sensitive period, your child is inherently motivated to intensely focus on a particular aspect of their environment without ceasing – absorbing experiences like a sponge. It is through these experiences that your child builds social and academic foundations – foundations they will use the rest of their life.
