At The Springs, we provide a foundation that cultivates a lifelong love of learning grounded in peace, respect, independence, and excellence.
“The first duty of an education is to stir up life, but leave it free to develop.”
- Maria Montessori
“To aid life, leaving it free, however, that is the basic task of the educator.”
– Maria Montessori
“The greatest development is achieved during the first years of life, and therefore it is then that the greatest care should be taken.”
– Maria Montessori, The Absorbent Mind

Children learn best when they’re actively engaged! ☺️
In Montessori, every lesson begins with the hands. From counting beads to practical life and sensorial activities, each material invites children to explore through touch and movement. As Maria Montessori said, “What the hand does, the mind remembers.” ✨
Because Montessori is the slow life — intentional, peaceful, and purposeful in every move ❤️

🕊️✨ Celebrating International Peace Day ✨🕊️
Today we came together, dressed in white, to walk in peace and unity. With flowers, doves, and handmade peace signs in hand, our students proudly carried the message that peace begins within ourselves and extends to the world around us. 🌎💛
In Montessori, peace education is at the heart of everything we do - teaching kindness, respect, and empathy in our daily lives. Today’s walk was a beautiful reminder of the joy and harmony we can create when we choose peace together. 🌿🤍
👩🍳✨ Potluck prep = practical life + teamwork + fun! ✨👨🍳
