About Us

 

The School

Eagle and Parkcenter Montessori are new facilities providing a Montessori education. Our schools offer children from the ages of 2 1/2 through 9 a challenging and enriched Montessori curriculum. Our goal at Eagle and Parkcenter Montessori is to allow children the freedom to explore and develop a true love of learning, which they will keep with them long after leaving our school. Safety, warmth, and nurturing, in addition to the Montessori philosophy, are priorities of our schools.

Our facilities in Eagle and Boise, Idaho offer parents and children alike, a sense of warmth and security in truly pleasant surroundings. The classrooms are large and well arranged to stimulate children's interests, while still being cozy and comfortable. Our playground area is a child's dream. It includes grass and sand areas and playground equipment to develop large motor skills.

Eagle and Parkcenter Montessori are approved training sites for the National Center for Montessori Education. We have been selected to present our program at Boise State University, Northwest Nazarene University, and local high schools.

 

School hours

School hours are from 7:00 AM - 6:00 PM Monday thru Friday, with the exception of noted holidays. Academic hours are 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM. We also offer extended care between 7:00 - 9:00 AM and 3:00 - 6:00 PM.

There is no need to wonder what to do with your child during the summer session. We offer a "funtastic" summer program, which includes various theme weeks, lots of water play and interesting field trips.

The Staff

The staff of any preschool program is the foundation of the school. We are proud of our staff and their dedication to the Montessori philosophy and the field of early childhood education. In addition to their college education, all of our lead teachers at Eagle and Parkcenter Montessori are Certified Montessori Teachers.

Through continuing education and in-service training, our staff stays abreast of current developments in the field and brings these fresh and innovative ideas to the classroom. All of our staff is trained in the Adlerian philosophy of child development and behavior. Children are managed in a friendly, respectful manner. Because of the individual attention we give to children, we maintain a low student to staff ratio.

Parent Support

Because we consider everyone to be a lifelong learner, we offer many classes for our families as well as the public. Parenting classes taught by marriage and family counselors are offered on site. Because our staff attends these classes as well, parents and teachers can collaborate to show consistency and respect to the children at home and at school. Other classes offered include demonstrations and explanations of the Montessori curriculum and philosophy.

Our Parent Teacher Organization is another way to get involved at either Eagle or Parkcenter Montessori. Check out our Boise Montessori PTO Blog where we will regularly post upcoming events and volunteer opportunities. http://boisemontessoripto.blogspot.com/
