Our Mission

Believing communities are the cornerstone of each child’s success, Oklahoma Public Montessori Initiative develops the whole child and families by providing access to public Montessori education and resources.

About Montessori

“Our care of the child should be governed, not by the desire to make him learn things, but by the endeavor to keep burning within him that light which is called intelligence.”

— Dr. Maria Montessori created a pedagogy rooted in
child development with five core principles.

Our Core Advantages

Our team of Montessori teachers is passionate about delivering high-fidelity education. Through their expertise, we ensure a nurturing, challenging, and enriching environment for every child.

The classroom layout is tailored to the needs of the children. Furniture is child-sized and materials are placed within easy reach promoting independence and self-confidence.

By allowing students to choose their own work, we cultivate self-discipline, intrinsic motivation, and a genuine love of learning. Each child progresses at their own pace, guided by their curiosity and interests.

Our classrooms feature specially designed Montessori materials, hands-on, experiential learning. The materials are designed to allow students to choose their work and encourage exploration, independence, and mastery of concepts.

We embrace the Montessori principle of multi-age classrooms, where students learn from and with each other. The age spans foster mentorship, collaboration, and the development of leadership skills.
