Montessori recognizes in the child a natural curiosity and desire to learn. Independence, self-confidence, self-discipline, and a love of learning are characteristics that are developed in the Montessori classroom. The Gan infuses the Montessori educational experience with strong Jewish pride and identity, knowledge of Jewish practice and traditions, and Hebrew language. Warmth, kindness, and valuing each child as an individual are the hallmarks of our program.
