Our Philosophy
Here at Waseca, we remain dedicated to providing an authentic Montessori curriculum to all of our students. We follow Dr. Montessori’s teachings that children thrive when they are given the freedom of choice, the ability to move and be active, and the strong community that our classrooms provide. Our classrooms are multi-age, co-educational, and designed to meet each individual child’s learning, developmental, social, and emotional needs.
Peace education
“Establishing a lasting peace is the work of education.”

“Free the child’s potential, and you will transform him into the world.”

Independence
“The child seeks for independence by means of work; an independence of body and mind.”
-Dr. Maria Montessori
“The goal of early childhood education should be to activate the child’s own natural desire to learn.”
-Dr. Maria Montessori
