How we see children

Grace Montessori School sees children as capable and curious individuals. Learning happens through repeated experiences that build self-awareness and independence. The school follows Dr. Montessori’s philosophy, which encourages personal success and self-mastery. It has been serving children since 1992 as a nonprofit and accredited school.

Classrooms are filled with Montessori materials that invite exploration. Teachers guide small groups and respond to each child’s needs. Children move freely, choosing activities that match their interests and abilities. This setup supports learning through hands-on experience and self-directed discovery.

Grace Montessori School is a nonprofit institution, accredited by the American Montessori Society, and licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services. It is also registered as a private, nonpublic school with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The school is a member of the National Association of Episcopal Schools and part of the Episcopal Diocese of The Susquehanna. These affiliations reflect the school's commitment to quality education, ethical standards, and community service.

What you notice in practice

Teachers work closely with children, observing their interests and offering support at their level. They follow the child's lead, allowing them to explore and learn at their own pace. Small group activities and individualized instruction help teachers respond to each child's unique needs. Teachers are trained in Montessori methods and are committed to fostering independence, self-mastery, and a love of learning.

Classrooms are arranged to encourage movement, exploration, and independent learning. Materials are organized in accessible, child-friendly ways that support hands-on learning. The day is paced to allow for both structured work and free play, with transitions that are smooth and respectful of the child's rhythm. This structure helps children develop a sense of order, focus, and confidence in their abilities.

How we work with families

At pickup, parents often hear about the day's activities and how their child has been doing. Teachers are available to answer questions and share observations about the child's progress and behavior. Communication is open and ongoing, with teachers encouraging parents to reach out with any concerns or questions. Parents are invited to visit the school at any time to see their child's classroom and about the program.

New families are invited to visit and meet staff before enrollment. The first weeks focus on helping the child feel safe and connected. Teachers work with families to ease the transition and build trust. Parents are encouraged to stay involved and ask questions throughout the process.
