Swannanoa Valley Montessori School focuses on the montessori approach to child centered learning by creating an environment where children feel secure, supported, and stimulated.
We believe in the child in each dream, in each mind and in each individual, through nurturing confidence, self-motivation and co-operation we promote community awareness and enthusiasm for life long learning. We wish to help children become individuals who respect themselves, other beings and the world in which they live.
