Company Profile

Company Description:

Hermosa Montessori School is a private Tucson preschool and a tuition-free public charter school for kindergarten, elementary, and middle school students.

Montessori is both a philosophy and psychology of child growth and development, and an educational system for guiding such growth. Carefully prepared learning environments are designed to meet the developmental stages of students from preschool through adolescence. Active, individualized learning is maintained through stimulating, multi-sensory teaching materials. The program is designed to recognize students self-motivation at all levels.

A Montessori program also recognizes that the most important years of growth are the first six years of life when unconscious learning is gradually brought to a conscious level. A Montessori program understands that children love to learn, that each child is unique, and that children develop at their own rate. Children should be encouraged, exposed, and challenged – not pushed.
