We must support as much as possible the child's desires for activity; not wait on him, but educate him to be independent.

Philosophy
AMC provides a safe, loving environment for preschool aged children. We strive to promote a sense of self worth, a respect for others and the environment as well as a love for learning. the Montessori Method is designed to allow each child to grow, develop and learn to his/her fullest potential in partnership with parents and the community.
Mission
AMC emphasizes learning through all five senses, not just through listening, watching, or reading. Children in AMC classes learn at their own, individual pace and according to their own choice of activities from hundreds of possibilities.
"Education is not something which the teacher does, but that it is a natural process which develops spontanesously in the human being. It is not acquired by listening to words, but in virtue of experiences in which the child acts on his environment. The teacher's task is not to talk, but to prepare and arrange a series of motives for cultural activity in a special environment made for the child."
- Maria Montessori, The Absorbent Mind
