A long legacy of
discovery and growth

With 30 years of Montessori experience and certification through the American Montessori Society, teacher Robyn Atkins has seen the profound impact Montessori education has on children and families. She is excited to open Grateful Grove Montessori and utilize her expertise in providing the best educational experience for families in the community.

  • In the Montessori classroom, children are educated through their senses, with learning experiences tailored to their individual needs and learning styles. The approach honors the distinct stages of development, allowing each child to learn at their own pace in an environment designed to foster independence, confidence, and curiosity.

    The mixed-age Montessori classroom creates a dynamic environment where children can mentor peers, problem-solve, and form meaningful friendships. As students explore the classroom, they naturally apply and develop their social skills, with guidance from supportive teachers. This setup encourages collaboration, independence, and personal growth, creating a rich learning experience for all.

The Montessori Method

  • Building Independence and Confidence

    In the Practical Life area, children engage in hands-on activities that teach essential life skills like self-care, organization, and responsibility. These tasks—such as pouring, cleaning, dressing, and preparing food—help children develop fine motor skills, concentration, and coordination.

    By practicing real-life tasks, children build independence, confidence, and a strong sense of order. The Practical Life area is designed to nurture self-discipline and prepare children for success in everyday life, fostering a love of learning and a deep sense of accomplishment.

    At our Montessori school, we believe that learning through doing helps children gain the skills and confidence to take on the world.
