Stepping Stones Montessori Academy

“A school, a place built for children, must have furniture and equipment scaled to the proper size and adapted to their physical strength, so that they can move it with the same ease with which we move the furniture in our homes.” Maria Montessori

Montessori Education

What is the Montessori Philosophy?

The Montessori philosophy is centered around the belief that children are naturally curious and capable of initiating their own learning in a supportive and well-prepared environment. It emphasizes respect for a child’s individual development, promoting independence, and nurturing intrinsic motivation through hands-on, self-directed activities. Montessori education values mixed-age classrooms, allowing younger children to learn from older peers and fostering a sense of community. It aims to develop the whole child—academically, socially, emotionally, and physically—preparing them for lifelong learning and responsible citizenship.

OUR PROGRAMS

We Meet Kids At Their Level Regardless Of Their Age

Stepping Stones offers a uniquely designed learning environment for all of our students. Our space is a supportive community of students and guides that respect children as unique individuals. Our community is designed to correspond to students’ developmental characteristics, interest, and abilities. Stepping Stones starts with the premise that children naturally want to learn, they learn in many different ways, and at their own pace. Learning is focused on experience, investigation, and research through active engagement, not rote drill and memorization. We are only 15 minutes from Park City!
