Grace Montessori School
opened
its doors in August
of 2004. It was a dream of more than 25 years and incorporated the help
of many friends and family. Grace Montessori early learning facilities
are constructed with children in mind. Child size furnishings, and
equipment
are part of the learning environment. Playgrounds are safe and well
equipped
for large motor development.
Unique Qualities:
We, at Grace Montessori,
take very seriously
our responsibility to guide your child through a world of discovery on
the path to constructing a secure, balanced personality with an active,
competent mind. The happy balance of freedom to explore and work within
a prepared, orderly environment, filled with specially designed
mind-engaging
sensoral materials and activities, is the hallmark of the Montessori
learning
environment. The art of the directress is to respect the freedom of
each
child to forge his own unique path of learning and growth energized by
his natural curiosity; but vigilant to inspire and encourage each child
to take in hand a rich enough wealth of activities and experiences to
ensure
successful development.
At Grace Montessori, our
directresses are dedicated
to guiding your child in the right direction.
Parents who select Grace
Montessori School have greater
peace of mind and confidence when they leave their children in those
early
years. Grace Montessori is different because of the ongoing support the
parents, children and teaching staff receive.

Grace Montessori is looking to
further our teachers
education by hiring teachers that want to further their Montessori
education
by getting their Montessori degree. This will enable each class to have
two teachers with Montessori degrees and be able to further the child's
education with a better knowledge of the Montessori method of learning.
The early childhood teaching is a different teaching method than the
Montessori
method of teaching. We will also encourage our teachers to further
their
education with college classes. We are a traditional Montessori school
and want to continue to teach this to our children.
| Grace
Montessori is committed
to giving the community, parents and children the best opportunity for
a traditional Montessori education.
We are located 39 miles
southeast of Boise, Idaho
and 15 minutes away from Mountain Home Air Force Base. Our hours of
operation
are 6:am to 6:pm with extended day options for working parents.
