Weinacker’s Montessori School

Specialties

The Montessori approach to learning encourages each child to reach his full potential in all areas of life. The classroom environment contains many multi-​sensory, sequential and self-​correcting materials. The materials facilitate the learning of skills and concepts. The children are free to work at their own pace with materials they have selected from the environment. All classrooms have multi-​age groupings that encourage a family-​like atmosphere where learning takes place naturally and spontaneously.

History

Established in 1969.

Marcia Weinacker founded Weinacker’s Montessori School in 1969. Having been introduced to Maria Montessori’s works during her graduate research, Mrs. Weinacker began the school when she completed her Masters in Education. Her first students included her two youngest of nine children who were then three and five years old. Her son, one of those original students, is continuing the family tradition.
