Montessori FAQ		Gloucester is unusual in having a resource usually found in larger urban communities--a Montessori School. The School includes two Children's House classes for ages 3-6, and an elementary class for ages 6-10. The goal of a Montessori education is to allow each child to reach his or her full potential, intellectually and in relationships with others, while developing a sense of self-esteem and responsibility. We encourage: responsible decision making creative self-expression orderliness and respect of environment cooperation and positive interactions with others independence and self-discipline non-competitive attitudes The morning session for 3 and 4 year olds is from 8:30 to 11:45. For kindergarten through third grade, the schedule is 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. The School offers an after-school care program for children enrolled in kindergarten and elementary programs. Gloucester Montessori, located on Route 17 just north of Gloucester Court House, is a non-profit organization led by a board of directors composed primarily of parents. For enrollment information, or to arrange a visit or find out more, call Ron Flowe, Head of School, at (804) 693-6455.
