WELCOME

to Ferndale Montessori Center

Established in 1981, Ferndale Montessori Center’s environment and curriculum provide children ages 18 months to 6 years with a life-long love of learning. Our Montessori certified teachers are specially trained in using Dr. Maria Montessori’s methods and materials to successfully guide each child in developing their unique abilities within a carefully planned curriculum to meet their individual needs and interests.

DEVELOP PASSIONS

At FMC, we assist children in finding ways to develop their passions by observing what activities call to them.

PEACEFUL CLASSROOMS

At FMC, we teach a child to respect others’ rights and feelings, which is a major part of the philosophy of Montessori education.

CONSISTENT CAREGIVERS

The FMC staff are experienced, dedicated and focused on the children. The longevity of our staff, some of whom have been with us for over 20 years, allows teachers to be a part of an entire family’s preschool years.

Our Goal For Our Children

is a respect for self, others, and the world all around!

“An education capable of saving humanity is no small undertaking;
it involves the spiritual development of man, the enhancement of his value as an individual, and the preparation of young people to times in which they live.”

[Maria Montessori, Education and Peace, 1949; translated by Helen R. Lane]
