BUENA VISTA IS A PUBLIC MONTESSORI SCHOOL
Click here to apply for our Montessori Program
Montessori is an environment where children develop fine and gross motor skills, build hand-eye coordination, and strengthen their muscles.
Beginning at an early age, Montessori nurtures order, concentration, and independence. Intentional classroom design, materials, and daily routines support the student’s emerging “self-regulation” (the ability to educate one’s self, and to think about what one is learning), in toddlers through adolescents.
