Noel Romeo, Director

The Montessori School of the Finger Lakes was founded in 1982 and is based upon the educational philosophy of Dr. Maria Montessori. Her development of educational materials and methods were based on her conviction that children learn best by doing. Her developmentally appropriate approach to learning is designed to fit each student’s personal strengths and challenges. According to Montessori Philosophy, each child must be allowed to work at his or her own level of ability. Math, language, sensory refinement, social studies/geography, “everyday living” skills, courtesy/character education, science, music, dramatic play, technology, and exploration of the environment are all explored through use of the hands and movement. Manipulatives and hands on materials are used to reinforce skills and expand upon student’s learning opportunities. Children will experience a caring, compassionate atmosphere where they are treated like family.
