Our main goal for this age is to foster a love of learning and a sense of self-confidence and independence. We want Caleb to be excited about going to school and interacting with his teachers and peers. We want an environment that will nurture his natural sense of curiosity and make him a good global citizen. We want a place where everyone is respected and included, and where kindness is valued. We believe that the Montessori Method does all these things, and that the Westside Montessori Academy in particular embodies these principles.
