Advancing the Montessori Way
At OBMC, we are deeply committed to the philosophy and educational method developed by Dr. Maria Montessori.
The Montessori education emphasizes independence, freedom with responsibility, and respect for the child’s intellectual, spiritual, and social development. Children learn through exploration, manipulation, order, repetition, abstraction, and communication.
