Peace Education

Maria Montessori was of the belief that the life of our nation, as well as civilization as a whole, depended on peace and thus felt as though the child was both a hope and promise for mankind. To that end, at Mayfair Gardens Montessori, we use Sonnie McFarland's flower of peace model to help young children develop appropriate strategies to gain self-awareness, community awareness, cultural awareness, and environmental awareness through activities that are developmentally appropriate.

Educating the Human Potential.

“An education capable of saving humanity is no small undertaking; it involves the spiritual development of man, the enhancement of his value as an individual, and the preparation of young people to understand the times in which they live.”

~~Maria Montessori
