Our Montessori Approach

At StoryHeights Montessori, we follow an AMS (American Montessori Society)-oriented approach, which blends the core priniciples of Montessori education with practical flexibility to meet the needs of today's families. Unlike the strict AMI (Association Montessori Internationale) model, which adheres rigidly to Maria Montessori's orginial methods, AMS allows for a more adaptable and inclusive approach while still upholding Montessori Excellence.

What does this mean for your child?

  • A Nurturing, Child-Centered Environment – We honor Montessori’s philosophy while adapting to individual learning styles and modern educational best practices.
  • Balanced Structure & Flexibility – We embrace the Montessori method but allow for adjustments to meet the needs of each child and family.
  • Collaborative & Inclusive – We welcome parental involvement (without requiring it) and create a warm, open community.
  • Practical, Real-World Learning – Our approach integrates Montessori principles with contemporary early childhood education insights.

Our goal is to provide a high-quality, developmentally appropriate Montessori experience that nurtures independence, confidence, and a love for learning in a way that works for every family.

Our Approach to Communication & Guidance

At StoryHeights Montessori, we speak to children with kindness and respect, using positive language of limits to guide behavior. Instead of saying “Don’t run,” we say “Let’s use walking feet.” Rather than “Stop grabbing,” we say “Let’s take turns.” We never yell or raise our voices, but instead use positive redirection and reinforcement to help children make good choices. Our goal is to create a calm, supportive environment where children feel safe, valued, and empowered to grow.
