With
Montessori principles as our guide, Sunrise offers an atmosphere rich
in discovery and experiences that cultivate the development of each
child’s academic and creative potential. A positive self-concept,
independence, concentration, and self-motivation are encouraged in
classrooms filled with beautiful, hands-on materials.
The
importance of communication and identifying positive ways of solving
problems are daily lessons at Sunrise. Caring for the classroom
environment and taking pride in its beauty give the children a sense of
ownership and responsibility.
A close working relationship
between teachers and parents ensures a successful learning experience
for each child. The school strives to educate the parents of children
attending Sunrise so that they may understand our philosophy and share
these four goals:
To help each child make the most of the childhood years and find a special path toward personal happiness
To develop a solid academic foundation and desire for lifelong learning
To encourage independent decision making
To support on-going participation as an integral member of our local and world communities.
