“Grown-ups think of play as a purposeless occupation that keeps children happy and out of mischief, but actually when children are left to play by themselves very little of their activity is purposeless. ”
~ Maria Montessori (Maria Montessori Speaks to Parents, p. 31)
Over the next three years we will raise funds to remove the old playground structures, resurface and level the soil, and build a playground aligned to our Montessori philosophy and the school's mission. Structures will be designed to encourage independence, support the child's sense of wonder, and foster opportunities for free movement as well as social interaction.
