Our Philosophy
Here at Waseca, we remain dedicated to providing an authentic Montessori curriculum to all of our students. We follow Dr. Montessori’s teachings that children thrive when they are given the freedom of choice, the ability to move and be active, and the strong community that our classrooms provide. Our classrooms are multi-age, co-educational, and designed to meet each individual child’s learning, developmental, social, and emotional needs.
