“Children are human beings to whom respect is due, superior to us by reason of their innocence and of the greater possibilities of their future.”
- Dr. Maria Montessori.
The Little Thinkers child learns through the academic and experiential process, developed by Dr. Maria Montessori, and influenced by the culturally diverse atmosphere of Brooklyn, students learn to care for and respect themselves, others and the earth.
Students in the early childhood program acquire tools for individual fulfillment, academic excellence, physical, social, and moral development, as well as confidence and independence for lifelong learning.
