Mixed Ages

Children from ages 2 1/2 to six years of age may enroll at White Pine Montessori School. Maria Montessori's method of education has been used successfully with "average" children as well as gifted, the academically challenged, the emotionally disturbed, and the physically handicapped.

Dr. Montessori found that young children thrive in a mixed age setting, without competition and comparison to each other. At White Pine Motessori School the children are mixed in ages from 2 1/2 to six years and are in classrooms of twenty children with one certified Motessori teacher and one interning teacher
