A Word from our Head of School...

Thank you for considering the Enfield Montessori School for your child. Current research increasingly supports Dr. Montessori’s conviction that the years from birth to twelve are most critical in a child’s life. This gift of a Montessori education is one of the most important gifts we can ever give our children. For over 50 years, EMS has been inspiring students to become passionate life-long learners, problem solvers and innovative thinkers in a compassionate and nurturing environment. Our school is a place where the child’s academic, social-emotional, and spiritual development is nurtured and challenged at every level to help them develop self-confidence, competency, concentration, critical thinking, compassion, and respect. Our goal is to not only fully prepare the child for their next educational experience and beyond but for life. 

As a Montessori child, parent and teacher myself, I think perhaps the real treasure of the Enfield Montessori School is the sense of peacefulness, community and family engagement that are present in the school. It is clear that this is a community who understands that providing an aesthetically pleasing and academically rich environment is secondary to providing an environment of respect and compassion; an environment where highly trained AMI (Association Montessori Internationale) teachers are passionate about serving the child and helping the child reach the child's fullest potential. 

I encourage you to learn more about the Montessori philosophy and about the Enfield Montessori School in particular. We would like the opportunity to partner with you and your child during this most important time in your child's life.
