Montessori School of Brentwood 

A prepared atmosphere in which children learn at their own pace in the sense of a caring and nurturing environment is provided by the Montessori classroom. The innate love of learning for children is promoted by having the opportunity under the guidance of a credentialed Montessori teacher to participate in meaningful activities. Children gain focus, inspiration, patience, discipline, and harmony through their learning experiences. The children advance according to their individual skills at their speed and rhythm within this system of order.
