The Williamsburg Montessori School is set to be a progressive educational institution that will serve children from three months to six years old. This expansion and focus on early childhood education will commence this fall, demonstrating WMS’s commitment to fostering holistic development in young learners.
In connection with its new location, WMS will occupy a retail space at Schaefer Landing, 450 Kent Avenue, marking the facility’s first tenant after several years of vacancy. This development signals a positive step for the area, providing families with options for quality early childhood education in a conducive setting.
The Montessori method of education is designed to nurture children’s natural interests and promote self-directed learning. It encourages hands-on, experiential learning and allows children to take ownership of their education, which aligns with the goals of WMS. The Children’s House program aims to provide a safe yet stimulating environment where children can explore and discover at their own pace.
As the school gears up for its first academic year, community involvement and awareness remain crucial. Families in the Williamsburg area are encouraged to consider WMS for their children’s early education needs.
