Scripps Montessori School　

It is one of the primary goals of Scripps Montessori School to create a “home away from
home” that will bring the child closer to her community and keep the child close to his family. The Montessori classroom is often referred to as a “prepared environment.” This means that our Montessori teachers anticipate what the child’s developmental needs are and prepared meaningful work for the child to engage. The materials in the room are child-sized and organized in a meaningful sequence for the child to locate and select. Our goal is for children to be able to independently direct their learning.
