Guided by the essential Montessori Philosophy, the Children’s Harbor Montessori School provides an art-centered curriculum which empowers children to use their creative thinking for the best possible development of their individual, cognitive, and emotional selves.
From 1978 to present, we have remained in Snug Harbor Cultural Center, committed to our role as art educators and promoters. During this time we have developed as a viable group within Snug Harbor and as a school with a solid reputation.
As a Montessori School, our philosophy is concerned with the development of the total child. This includes attention to their social, cognitive, emotional, creative, and physical needs with all aspects being given equal consideration.
It is our goal to help children develop a positive self-image, self-reliance and independence in a structured educational program that also encourages the creative ability of each child.
We encourage the recognition and appreciation of individual differences. We foster caring, consideration and respect for others, while providing opportunities for cooperation and sharing. We hope that children will become aware of themselves as individuals and as part of their community.
