Mission

Valley Montessori Academy (VMA) is committed to promoting the intellectual, emotional and physical development of the whole child, according to the educational philosophy developed by Maria Montessori and guided by the principals of the American Montessori Association (AMS).

Within the context of a three-year early childhood, mixed-age program we seek to provide an excellent academic environment that promotes self-respect, independence, nurtures a love of learning, inspires creativity, stimulates growth and development of the young child. At VMA we welcome families of varied ethic, religious and socio-economic back- grounds who share Maria Montessori`s passion for inclusivity and interconnectedness.
