Our Sun Montessori School
Our Sun Montessori offers an environmentally-friendly, welcoming space that supports preschool children and their families.
A Cooperative School Community
At Our Sun Montessori, we believe in engaging all stakeholders—including caregivers, teachers, and students—in sharing responsibility for running the school. Strong, positive school-family relationships are the foundation of effective education. We recognize that caregiver involvement is not just about volunteering or attending events but about fostering a healthy caregiver-child relationship that extends the values of our school family into the home.
Our Sun Montessori Values
Our Sun Montessori, provides an equitable, authentic Montessori education grounded in Afro-centric, and culturally sustaining pedagogy. We envision a learning community where children are empowered to author their own life journeys, and we prioritize their emotional, mental, and physical well-being. At Our Sun Montessori, joy, empowerment, humanity, interconnectedness, balance, and harmony are at the core of daily learning experiences.
The Montessori approach is a child-centered, hands-on-learning pedagogy rooted in peace education and global mindedness. Dr. Maria Montessori's holistic approach helps children become truly capable and productive individuals by focusing on their moral, behavioral, emotional, and intellectual development.
We are proud members of the Wildflower Network of schools, an ecosystem of decentralized Montessori micro-schools that support children, teachers, and parents. Wildflower aspires to give all children and families the opportunity to choose high-quality, beautiful learning environments as they follow life’s unfolding journey.
Empowerment and Capability
We believe that students and families are inherently capable and motivated to learn and grow. Our role is to empower them by providing access to meaningful opportunities and purposeful work.
Creating Conducive Environments
We are dedicated to creating environments that support learning, skill-building, and community engagement. We ensure that students and families have the tools and resources they need to succeed independently.
Navigating and Closing Gaps
As navigators, we identify and address any barriers that hinder success. We work diligently to close gaps, ensuring that all students and families have equal access to opportunities and support.
Diverse and Independent Interventions
We offer a range of interventions that students and families can choose from based on their needs and interests. Our approach is ethical, educational, and focused on fostering independence.
Limitless Potential
We believe in the limitless potential of every individual. Our efforts are geared towards avoiding limitations through standardization or prediction, embracing the unique paths each person might take in their learning and growth journey.
Our Sun Montessori is an eco-friendly Early Childhood Education center dedicated to nurturing boys, girls, and their families through sustainable practices and innovative learning. We strive to be a hub for BIPOC educators, fostering an inclusive community that celebrates diversity and empowers growth. As a center of collaboration and lifelong learning, we are committed to providing exceptional education and support to every child and family we serve.
The needs of mankind are universal. Our means of meeting them create the richness and diversity of the planet. The Montessori child should come to relish the texture of that diversity.
