Situated in a carriage house on a quiet, rural corner in Cheshire, the Boulder Knoll Montessori School is for children between the ages of three to six years and is based on the educational philosophy of Dr. Maria Montessori. It believes that students best achieve independent learning and enjoyment through the ability to succeed in an environment carefully constructed by the teacher. Throughout the program, children are exposed to practical life situations, sensory experiences, language, math, creative writing, science, cultural studies, art and music. The four instructors have many years of experience and hold degrees in the field.
