Welcome!
Children’s House Montessori School in Camden, Maine
“The greatest gifts we can give our children are the roots of responsibility and the wings of independence” - Maria Montessori
Come visit our nurturing, hands-on Montessori learning environment in midcoast Maine.
As a community, we cultivate curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking while caring for each other, the environment, and the world. We invite you to join us.
Guided by Dr. Maria Montessori’s pioneering philosophy, we provide carefully designed, multi-age classrooms and nature-based opportunities where children - ages 18 months to 9 years old - master skills at their own pace and grow toward independence in a cooperative environment.
We cultivate belonging and respect.
Children’s House strives to be a place where each person – whether a student, teacher, staff, parent, caregiver, or grandparent – feels a sense of belonging and respect. We recognize and appreciate our differences in culture, race, color, ethnicity, religion, age, family structure, sex and sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, socioeconomics, learning style, world view, and more. Our diversity creates a rich environment that educates and supports our children on their path to maturity and global citizenship. We strive to create a culture of respect in all that we do everyday– in our classroom programming, professional development, hiring, admissions, and governance practices. We empower each other to take action against injustices.
