Montessori School of Mount Pleasant employs only educators with training in Resources of Infant Educatiors (RIE) or Montessori teaching techniques.
The focus is on providing intensive edcuation for the child's first years of life. They contend the approach develops budding, empathetic relationships between infants and their caregivers; toddlers demonstrating deep concentration or leading small group activities; and self-motivated, self-assured primary students who collaborate on work and conflict negotiation for the good of the community.
