Woodland Hill Montessori
School, one of the
oldest Montessori
schools in the nation,
brings the innovative
philosophy of Dr. Maria
Montessori to New York's
Capital Region. The
century-old Montessori
method nurtures a
child's natural love of
learning and supports
each child's journey
toward independence,
self-actualization, and
personal excellence.
Our children are guided by specially
certified teachers who use the
well-defined integrated Montessori
curriculum and beautifully crafted
interactive materials to foster
individual and cooperative skills in
language, mathematics, science,
geography, and social studies. Even
our youngest children have enriched
experiences in algebra, geometry,
fine arts, astronomy, botany,
zoology, foreign language, history,
and physical education. The
Montessori approach is
internationally famous for the
development of each child's
creativity, resourcefulness, and
potential.
