“Education is a natural process carried out by the child and is not acquired by listening to words but by experiences in the environment.”   Dr. Maria Montessori

Please join us on the evening of Thursday, March 25th from 6-8pm.

Come visit out beautifully prepared environment, laid out and enriched to give the very best experience to each child. Learn about the Montessori method of education, and explore the beautiful materials which enable each child to develop a true life-long love for learning.

Teachers  will be available to answer all your questions about how the Montessori philosophy is applied to early childhood education, and what it’s like at APMS.  Come work with the materials, have a snack, and visit with our gerbils! Contact Sinead with any questions.  We hope to see you there!

With the delightful weather we’ve experienced this Fall, has come more opportunities for outdoor exploration.  We recently took advantage of an unseasonably warm afternoon to visit the Wood Lake Nature Center in Richfield.    The children thoroughly enjoyed the trip on the city bus-entertaining all the other riders on the way there.   » Read the rest of this entry «

This past spring the children at APMS undertook a daunting project.  Since so many of our families were beginning to plan their kitchen gardens, our classroom was abuzz with talk of building beds and starting seeds.  Our little friends decided to offer to start the seeds for all the families, and tend for them until it was time to plant. » Read the rest of this entry «

The 2008-2009 school year saw lots of activity and growth in our community.  Families expanded, and new children joined our class.  We added new materials and enriched our classroom in many ways.  We look forward to adding a permanent sign outside our building, and beginning work on landscaping an outdoor play/children’s garden area.
