COSMIC MONTESSORI SCHOOL

Our Faculty Approach.

At Cosmic Montessori School, we have built an inclusive environment that fosters a child’s love of learning, the joyful discovery of self, and a passion for independent thinking. Our faculty members are dedicated to Maria Montessori’s traditional philosophies and are passionate about implementing them with modern adaptations in our classrooms. Almost all of our teachers are Montessori certified and have been working in a Montessori environment for several years. Most importantly, our teachers have a passion for education and helping a child reach their full potential.

Philosophy

TO PROMOTE COLLABORATION, DIVERSITY, INCLUSION, AND COLLABORATION BY ASSISTING THE CHILD’S EMOTIONAL AND BEHAVIORAL DEVELOPMENT.

We are committed to following Montessori’s rigorous pedagogy, which allows the child to excel academically and develop principal life skills. We value the child’s holistic development and believe it is the key to transforming the student. We allow the child to develop into capable individuals who will find internal fulfillment, professional productivity, and the ability to form interpersonal connections throughout their lives. We guarantee the highest qualified faculty to facilitate that development. In addition, we involve parents with the Montessori experience so they can fully understand the process and aid their child’s growth.

History

Overall, the Cosmic adventure has been nothing but rewarding in every way.

Our story began in 2010 when we rented an available space in a small childcare facility. Our school initially began with two classrooms: one toddler and one primary classroom, and while it was a small start, we began to work very hard to expand the program in any way possible.

Now in its 13th year, Cosmic Montessori has grown tremendously. After its 5th year, Cosmic outgrew its previous location and broke the foundation for a new building for the growing program. Now we have 140+ students with over eighteen faculty members, and the program has continued growing since, with lots of new children enrolling every year! We have even added a building for elementary, The Shakespeare Building, to adhere to the Montessori philosophy, enhance our program, and add even more children to the program.

Our founder, Silvia Dei Rossi, has created a unique Cosmic family environment. She has carried her passion for Montessori throughout the international community as a workshop presenter at several schools and conventions in the U.S. and other countries. Her constant motivation to improve and grow has affected every student and teacher. Under her guidance, children are learning many new abstract concepts and have been developing.

Not only are children learning, but they are exceeding all standards possible. Our graduates are achieving excellence in the public school system. They are testing into higher courses, reaching the highest percentile in testing, and soaring past their classmates. The students can achieve so much because of how we put the needs of the children far past our own, and that is when they begin to grasp the concepts.

Overall, the Cosmic adventure has been nothing but rewarding in every way. The bonds we have formed with families and faculty is unparalleled to any other institution. We not only see the students grow every year, but we see the teachers grow as well. We feel its very important to stay updated and to always continue on the life long journey of learning. With constant development training and presentations, the faculty has grown so much throughout the years.

Our 13-year adventure has certainly been a growing and learning experience, not only for our students but also for our faculty and staff. As we move forward, we cannot wait to continue our journey and strive to provide the best education available to our students.

Core Values

We value the whole child, the prepared environment, and the community.

At Cosmic Montessori School, we prioritize the growth of each child. Paying close attention to the child allows us to follow them throughout their educational and developmental career from infancy through early adulthood. We foster healthy habits that promote healthy nutrition and healthy activities. Our environments’ routines allow the child to feel comfortable and at ease and develop a strong sense of self and personal responsibility. Our prepared environments create a fluid transition between outdoor and indoor environments. Our environments are filled with natural light, earthy tones, greenery, and natural materials to create a calming and minimalistic environment. We ensure the highest possible standard of authentic Montessori practices and philosophies in each classroom environment. In addition to valuing each child’s progress and their work environment, we fully engage the benefits of interacting with our wider community. Parents and teachers work together so that children develop themselves as global citizens. From the first point of contact throughout the child’s educational journey, parents at Cosmic Montessori School will be nurtured in their participation in their child’s education and development and contributions to the school’s sustainability.

Why Montessori

When most people look back on school, they do not remember a positive experience in the classroom. Most people usually recall the constant falling behind, loads of homework, and feeling helpless. However, in the Montessori program, children view that kind of schooling as a foreign experience. The constant boredom and frustration most children experience in the classroom is a figment of a Montessori child’s imagination. So, why Montessori? It is almost a foolish question to ask!

The Montessori curriculum is a direct contrast to traditional classroom education. In a Montessori environment, a student takes their adventure in self-development. A Montessori child usually knows what they need to do to improve and further their mastery of a subject. Also, the Montessori curriculum encourages learning and pushing past one’s boundaries.

We know gifted students usually suffer in a traditional setting because they are forced to be on the same path as the other students. So if a student is capable, they can keep driving through the material at any pace they feel comfortable in a Montessori setting. In addition, most Montessori students are standouts in the public school system. Many high school and middle school teachers comment on how fascinated they are with our school graduates and how well they are performing. Learning should be a journey your child enjoys taking, and Montessori education is the #1 path to achieving this goal!
