Our elementary classroom’s outdoor garden has come together so nicely! We are proud of the work they have put in to create a beautiful garden flourishing with new life! Under the guidance of Cathy Rodman, master gardener, our elementary students built this garden from “the-ground-up”! Among the many learning opportunities they’ve enjoyed such as applying mathematics to measure growth, using earth science to study life cycles, and collaborating as a team, next we will harvest, taste, and share! Bravo elementary students and thank you Ms. Rodman! #montessorischool #outdoorenvironment #childrengardening #elementaryschool #westvalleyaz #litchfieldpark

We are applauding our four year old learner who started writing numbers with paper and pencil this week! Jaiveen joined St. Peter’s Montessori School when he was 3 years old. Since then we’ve seen him bloom by leaps and bounds. His young mind is curious and thirsty for knowledge. Our guides are trained to observe each child intently and introduce new concepts when queues are present. With Montessori, the foundation for this exercise is built early on in the Nido classroom where young toddlers learn to properly hold utensils in preparation for later holding a pencil. Each activity is carefully thought out and planned. Guides in each classroom work together to prepare a child for the next advancement in learning. In this case Jaiveen and his Lead Guide, Ms. Kathy, have developed a relationship of communication that enables Ms. Kathy to identify the subtle queues and creates an environment of comfort and security for Jaiveen to try new things. Hi-Five Ms. Kathy and Jaiveen! Open enrollment for 2025-26 is here!
