Our Philosophy
"Learning is essentially what the child does, not what is done to the child."
- Frederick Froebel
All children have a natural, innate urge to learn. This urge, fostered and supported in the right learning environment, and with the right activities for each stage of development, allows the child to develop his or her full potential. Our belief is that education must be in harmony with each child's "true" moral, spiritual, cognitive, and affective qualities.
"Any child who is self-sufficient, who can tie his shoes, dress or undress himself, reflects in his joy and sense of achievement the image of human dignity, which is derived from a sense of independence."
-Dr. Maria Montessori
Dr. Montessori recognized that learning is most effective when motivated by one’s own interest and curiosity. We embrace this in providing a world of hands-on learning experiences in which your child’s interests are encouraged and choices respected.
Self-confidence is continually reinforced through experiencing the joy of overcoming obstacles and learning new skills. At Etonkids, your child is carefully and caringly guided through a progression of learning experiences where each lesson is mastered and internalized before moving on to the next.
Each day, we encourage your child to make choices, take risks and embrace challenges in a nurturing and supportive environment. Each day, our goal is for your child to experience the joy of learning.
We cater to the needs of our students and their families in providing educational programs that seamlessly tailor themselves to each child’s unique needs and where your child’s happiness is the top priority.
