What Sets Montessori Kids Universe Apart? Everything!
At Montessori Kids Universe, we are a unique brand. We are the only franchise in the child care sector that combines the philosophies of Montessori education with the hands-learning of Reggio Emilia.
What Sets our Franchise Apart? Everything! Our proprietary DaVinci Kids curriculum, along with the nationally-recognized STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and math) creates an enriched program for the children we serve. Our goal is to nurture, inspire and educate. We offer a high quality learning experience to each and every student. We guide children on the path to independent thinking, equipping each child with life-long learning skills.
Our children are the future of the world and the legacy we leave behind. Montessori Kids Universe is passionate about making a difference in the life of each child.
What Makes Montessori Unique?
The Montessori method focuses on the whole child through the following:
- Social Skills - Being able to communicate with peers and express oneself are key parts of development and functioning in a community. Montessori classrooms gently nurture each child’s development and personality.
- Physical Skills - Skills such as motor function are of high importance in a Montessori school. Fine motor skills are needed to write as well as manipulate objects and surroundings.
- Academic Skills - The MKU method teaches children to teach themselves in carefully prepared environments with trained educators. Independent learning leads to high cognitive function and strong self-esteem.
