Our Philosophy | Why Bilingual Montessori?

Mi Casita Montessori School is committed to providing a stimulating and safe bilingual environment where your children can freely explore and learn at their own pace through experiences that foster the development of the whole child -- academic, social, physical, ethical, emotional, and linguistic development.

Mi Casita Montessori School serves children of 18 months to six years of age and offers a unique approach to develop the whole child. To accomplish this total development, we follow the educational philosophy of Dr. Maria Montessori, an Italian physician and pioneer in child development from the early 1900's, who observed that children have a natural desire to learn for themselves through stimulating hands-on activities that help them grow into self-motivated, independent learners. In addition, we wish to go a step further in the development of the whole child by offering a total Spanish immersion environment to take advantage of the child's ability to learn multiple languages naturally and simultaneously. The children are free to speak whatever language they choose. The teachers speak to the children only in Spanish all day long. The only exception is that during the Kindergarden year, an English-speaking Montessori teachers works with the children in English to practice reading and writing during the afternoon work cycle.
