Hello Parents.
We are a small Montessori facility in the town of Urbana in Frederick County Maryland, offering full day program for a very limited number of children ages two and a half through six. We are conveniently located just a mile East off of I-270, Exit 26.
Our goal is to provide quality learning environment with right tools, and to encourage the growth of the children's natural curiosity and joy of learning in a safe nurturing setting. We have a student to teacher ratio of 4:1.
The dedicated classroom is a 800 square feet area specifically designed for teaching children. We use all new Montessori materials, and have small library, computer system, kitchen, nap room and a huge fenced lawn with a new play set.
Ms. Sangi Krishnaswamy is our Montessori Directress. She is a Montessori certified teacher, worked in a private Montessori school for several years and started Urbana Montessori in June 2007. She has Masters Degree in Communications, and regulary attends national and regional level Montessori conferences, networks with other teachers, subscribes and reads industry specific journals. She has a passion to teach children, and shows Excellence in whatever she does - and children like her, too!
Ms. Kathy Strawn, a recently retired professional from FannieMae is our Teacher Assistant. She loves teaching and sharing her Arts & Crafts talents to get the creative juices flowing!
For the year 2009-2010, the classroom is in a residential home in Villages of Urbana, operating with Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) Office of Childcare (OCC) License. We are affiliated with American Montessori Society (AMS).
