Our Teachers
We call our teachers “guides”, because our work is not so much to tell children what we know as to assist their natural urge to become high functioning members of society. Montessori guides are specially trained to understand the particular developmental tasks and sensitivities of the age group cohorts they work with. New lessons and materials are introduced in ways that promote an appetite for more. Montessori learning environments are prepared to serve the development of deep concentration, self-confidence, initiative and self-regulated social interaction.
About our program
La Mariposa Montessori is an authentic Montessori learning community on a campus of astonishing natural beauty.
Our child-centered program and classroom culture promotes independent learning through exploration. The children’s passion for learning is fueled by generous integration of the arts, the opportunity for direct daily interaction with the animals of our menagerie, and by our unique ability to situate academic and cultural studies in the context of the extensive natural environs of our campus.
