About Us Montessori Schools of Snohomish County has been established since 1962 to provide an education for children ages 6 weeks to 18 years. We reach out to each individual child and cultivate an environment that promotes academic, social and emotional enrichment. Montessori Schools of Snohomish County follows the Montessori Method of Education. Our Montessori classrooms are prepared environments for enriched learning experiences. The program includes the following subject areas; practical life, sensorial, reading, grammar, penmanship, creative writing, math, geography, botany, zoology, history, anatomy-physiology, experimental and natural science, classification, movement, puppetry, music, drama, art and handwork, Spanish and miscellaneous units. The Montessori Method is the method of teaching developed by Dr. Maria Montessori. She was Italy's first female M.D., and was given the assignment to work with young children. Over her more than three decades of educating children, she established many ideals and a philosophy to help children learn. She encouraged individualized teaching through the use of concrete materials rather than abstract theory. Through the use of the five senses and manipulative (hands-on) materials, the child is allowed to progress at his/her own, individual learning rate. The prepared environment encourages the child to use the abilities that are innate to him or her.
