St. Timothy's Montessori School
Our school has been in existence since 1956, providing education of children two-and-a-half to six-years-old. We strive to give children the opportunity to explore and learn through hands-on experiences in an environment that fosters independence and creativity. It is our belief that appropriate education received during these formative years is the most valuable education of a lifetime.
The Montessori philosophy, developed by Dr. Maria Montessori, offers an individual approach to teaching children.Through her observations of young children, Dr. Montessori felt children have an inner desire to learn and particular sensitivities at different ages and developmental stages of their lives. The love of learning and desire to become independent lead children through the world absorbing information like a “sponge.” As teachers and parents we must constantly provide information and activities to keep the sponge wet.
The teachers at St. Timothy’s Montessori School are trained from nationally recognized training programs in Montessori Education and the assistants are trained in Early Child Development Education. They understand the development of young children and support their natural curiosity and desire to learn by providing a rich, individualized learning environment that is challenging and instills a love of learning.
St. Timothy’s Montessori School is located in the Nob Hill area, in St. Timothy's Lutheran Church. We are on the corner of Jefferson and Copper. Our school has three classrooms: an early preschool classroom with two-and-a-half to three-year-olds, and two preschool/kindergarten classrooms with three- to six-years-olds.The early preschool has eight students, a head teacher, and an assistant teacher, offering a four-to-one ratio. The preschool/kindergarten classrooms have 24 children, a head teacher, and two assistant teachers, for an eight-to-one ratio.
St. Timothy's has an open-door policy with parents and we encourage involvement from them and other family members. Our school offers additional specialty classes such as yoga, music, and art, which supplement our daily curriculum. The Pastor from St. Timothy's also visits our classrooms to provide stories, songs, and arts and crafts. All religious beliefs and backgrounds are respected.
