Weekly Update - Litchfield Montessori School | Litchfield Montessori School

“All the great men the world has ever had, in music, poetry, science etc., have all been children. We don’t know what the child will become, but he possesses a great force, and if he is to develop to the best of his capabilities by the time he is a man, it is essential that he obeys all the laws of nature during his development. ”

Maria Montessori
The 1946 London Lectures, p. 136

Expressions of Art

Litchfield Montessori Winter Art Show, Expressions of Art, features work from our talented, creative students. The exhibit offers a look into the power of creative expression! Through different artists and art mediums, the children bring forth their marvelous imagination. As a central focus of Montessori elementary education, the independence of the child is encouraged and, because of this, the child has the space to develop his/her unique and personal interpretations of life.
