Our Vision, Mission and Values
Our Vision: to make Montessori education accessible to every neighbourhood
in Lebanon, by creating a network of nurturing and child-centric environments.
Our Mission: We are committed to create a nurturing space that embraces the unique potential of each child, fostering a foundation for holistic growth and development, while remaining consistent to the Montessori method of education.
Our Values: Educating for Peace. Nurturing Holistically. Demonstrating Integrity.
The Montessori Place does not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin in providing educational services and programs. We recognize that our world is a diverse and interconnected ecosphere, and we aim at creating a community that reflects the breadth of human diversity.
