Arbor Schools
Center in Sammamish, WA 98075
Arbor provides nurturing education to children from toddlers through early adolescents. At each level, the curricula and classrooms are designed to respond to the developmental characteristics of each particular age group.
Cooperative experiences in cross-age groupings are a feature of the Montessori classroom environment. Dr. Montessori’s belief that a mixed age group enhances the child’s learning experience finds increasing support in current research. Studies show that younger children in the group gain through their observations of and interactions with the older child’s advanced skills. Additionally, the older children restructure and solidify their acquired understanding as they participate with the younger ones.

Montessori philosophy is grounded in the belief that all children desire to learn and understand their own personal world and the greater world around them. The teacher is the compass; the child is the explorer. While learning the processes of his or her daily work, the child is guided by the teacher, who ensures that the child is on the right path.
