The Children s Enrichment Center - Artes de Montessori believes children need to be happy to learn. They need a flexible learning environment, but they also need structure. We have combined traditional and Montessori methods by utilizing multicultural curriculum in a warm nurturing environment. Our Goal is to enhance self-esteem in every child. There needs to be a lot of interaction, and they need to feel part of a group. Social and emotional development is as much a part of the learning experience as academics.
