The Children's Academy of Springfield is a Montessori school celebrating their 27th year with the same owner, at the same location. This state-certified academic pre-school and kindergarten is dedicated to providing an unparalled educational opportunity for your child. Centered on Maria Montessori's belief in the individual child and the teacher being "the silent caretaker of the environment," each student can explore the classroom and advance to any level of learning. From ages 2 ½ - 6½ the child is presented with an accelerated academic curriculum in reading, math, social and world studies, science and culture. French, computer science and a unique music program are all provided during the daily routine. The Academy's belief in the individual human being as a gift to the world helps to enhance their unique approach to respect, tolerance and peaceful solutions. The teachers are devoted to awakening the spirit and imagination in your child. The Academy invites you to arrange a private visit by calling (973)379-3524.
