WHO ARE WE?
The Virginia Montessori Association is a non-profit 501(c)3 that was established in 2015 to bring Montessorians in Virginia together and to offer a community from which we all could benefit. Administrators, educators, parents and other supporters can connect, inform and communicate in a way that is of value to all.
WHAT IS MONTESSORI?
Montessori is a constructivist educational philosophy that recognizes each child as a unique individual with their own learning style and potential. Montessori schools offer a holistic approach to learning that empowers children to explore, discover, and grow at their own pace. Developed by Dr. Maria Montessori in the early 20th century, this educational approach is grounded in fostering independence, creativity, and a lifelong love for learning.
WHAT'S NEW?
After months of hard work on behalf of the Montessori community, the Virginia Montessori Association successfully advocated for Montessori educators to be eligible to apply for a $4000 scholarship through one of three training centers in Virginia: the Virginia Montessori Teacher Education Center, the Virginia Center for Montessori Studies and the Montessori Institute of McLean.
