OUR PHILOSOPHY

Greenway Crossing Montessori School is a privately owned educational environment where Montessori certified teachers plan an individual learning experience appropriate for each child’s level of development. 


Parents play an active part in their child’s education and in many aspects of our school community. We believe that when parents demonstrate their commitment to early childhood education, both the children and the school benefit. 


Students learn to view themselves as contributing members of a diverse global community. We respect and value differences and welcome a rich classroom diversity of economic and social classes, racial and ethnic heritages, religious and spiritual beliefs, physical abilities, and family structures. We treat each other with honesty and mutual respect. To enhance a global perspective, other languages are included in our curriculum, as is geography and multicultural education. 


Classrooms are equipped with high-quality, hands-on learning and exploratory materials. Learning areas include real life skills and food preparation, sensory development, child-centered art, science exploration, music and body movement, other languages activities, geography and multicultural materials, language, pre-writing and writing, and pre-math and math. We foster self-esteem, independence, self-discipline, cooperation, problem solving, and a love of learning.

OUR MISSON

To provide a carefully prepared environment based upon the Montessori education philosophy, within which children are able to actively participate to realize their full potential. Our primary mission is to nurture and support the unfolding of each child’s full potential by providing a carefully prepared environment based upon the Montessori philosophy of education. 

MEET OUR FOUNDER

Cynthia Walker

She believed Montessori Principles: a vision of diverse populations learning from each other's experiences, and that all children deserve an opportunity to learn.


So she moved to Madison and worked in some of the local Montessori Schools, but didn't find them fulfilling her desire to impart the Montessori principles for a diverse population.  In 2003 an opportunity to make a positive impact on our children's education presented itself to her and she took it.
