Roots & Wings Montessori Place is dedicated to providing an optimum school environment based on Montessori's philosophy of individualized education of the whole child, ethically, socially, academically, physically, spiritually and artistically, thus enabling each to become a self-reliant, satisfied, confident and productive citizen.

We focus on your children’s well-being, guiding them to discover their gifts, preparing for their individual satisfaction as they contribute them to our changing world and empowering them through positive relationship with others, both near and far; in short, we aim for no less than world peace!

It’s not how smart you are, but how you’re smart!

 Whether your child is good at math, gardening, spelling, running, drawing, singing, relating to others, communicating with animals, fixing a computer or just unique thinking – every child is gifted, and our aim is to provide as wide a spectrum of learning as possible, so that each can find his passion.

Will your child make a difference in the world?

 We encourage independent thinkers who can stand up for themselves and their beliefs, and trust their ability to effect change.  Strong connections with the natural world create effective stewards of the earth.
