| 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.
Woodland Hill Montessori School is an
authentic Montessori school fully accredited by the American Montessori
