Please take some time to read through our site to learn more about our school and the Montessori methods, for more information contact us. Sunrise Montessori is an independent school in which each child is valued as unique and as an active agent in his/her educational process. Sunrise Montessori fosters independence, critical thinking, responsibility to self and others, and peaceful, appreciative stewardship of the earth. "Free choice is one of the highest of all the mental processes. Only the child is deeply aware of his need for practice and for the development of his spiritual life, can really be said to choose freelyThe child, whose attention has once been held by a chosen object, while he concentrates his whole self on the repetition of the exercise, is a delivered soul in the sense of the spiritual safety of which we speak."
