Dr. Maria Montessori once said, "the mind of the child, which in the first six years of life, is different from that at any later stage of development." She called this the Absorbent Mind. |

Montessori Center for the Young Child is a one of a
kind school that uses Montessori methods of learning
adopted from Dr. Maria Montessori, an Italian physician who
dedicated her life and career to the study of children. Here
the focus is on the children, not the curriculum.
MCYC expects students to achieve high academic
standards, not because they are forced, but because they
have an inner desire to learn and a thirst for knowledge.
Our standards will not be compromised because we expect
all staff to have Montessori credentials and expect our
facilities to be a light inviting interior equipped with top
quality furnishings and learning materials.
At our school, you can expect your child to develop at his
or her own pace and individual potential. You can expect
the highest attention to detail and care for your child.
You can expect guided instruction, instead of forced ideas,
as well as premium quality Montessori materials your child
will use daily. You can also expect a genuine care and
concern for each child's progress. We present Classic
Montessori materials to the children in beautifully designed
and equipped classrooms.
A carefully prepared classroom environment, with children
working in familiar student groups each day results in a calm
flow to the school day creating an atmosphere conducive to
a joyous learning experience.
We believe that the potential of each student is maximized
when there is a strong parent-school partnership.
We expect our students to succeed and prosper in the
world around them. Such that our goal is to help them do
so, because Dr. Montessori once said, 'the education of
even a very small child does not aim at preparing him (or
her) for school, but for life.'
Partner with us to exceed your expectations, and you will
gain more than you ever thought was possible for your
child's education.
