Salem montessori school

At Salem Montessori School, our vision is to create a welcoming environment where students, families, and staff alike feel a strong sense of belonging. We are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive learning community, where hands-on experiences cater to the unique needs of every child. Our goal is for the learning journey at SMS to be enriching, not only academically but also in supporting social-emotional growth and meaningful relationship building. We are dedicated to offering a well-rounded preschool experience that nurtures the whole child, ensuring a fulfilling and rewarding experience for all.

The Montessori Method, developed by Dr. Maria Montessori in 1907, encourages children to learn at their own pace through hands-on, self-directed experiences. By fostering independence, creativity, and critical thinking, it helps children develop a love for learning. Montessori classrooms promote not only academic skills but also social, emotional, and physical growth. Research shows that Montessori students often excel in problem-solving, collaboration, and empathy, preparing them for lifelong success.
