Follow the Child Montessori School just
celebrated its grand opening in June, 2007, with a fun-filled summer
camp. September will be the start of our first academic year. While the
school and materials may be new, the staff has extensive experience in
Montessori education and childcare.
We are located in the former New Meadow Inn in West
Bath. Every window offers beautiful views of the New Meadows River. Our
classroom is spacious, yet warm and inviting. The children can read by
the fire (actually painted by a parent), fill a glass pitcher in the
child-size sink, count the number rods in the glass atrium, or play
outside in the fenced-in playground. We welcome visitors to come and
observe the class at work or tour the facility after class is done for
the day.
Mission Statement
We believe that each child is inwardly driven to better
themselves. It is our mission at Follow the Child Montessori School to
provide each child with a rich environment for this type of social and
academic growth. Through the Montessori philosophy of education, we
will follow each child on their road to independence and give them the
tools they will need to gain vital life skills.
No child shall be denied enrollment based on race, creed, or national
origin.
